        Job 7
      
    </p>

<p>

      
         1
      
      
        .  Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days 
        of an hireling?
      
    <br/>

      
         2.  As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward 
        of his work:
      
    <br/>

      
         3.  So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.
      
    <br/>

      
         4.  When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of 
        tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.
      
    <br/>

      
         5.  My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become 
        loathsome.
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> 6.  My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         7.  O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good.
      
    <br/>

      
         8.  The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I 
        am not.
      
    <br/>

      
         9.  As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall 
        come up no more.
      
    <br/>

      
         10.  He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.
      
    <br/>

      
         11.  Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I 
        will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
      
    <br/>

      
         12.  Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        <b>13.  When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint;</b>
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> 14.  Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions:</b>
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> 15.  So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> 16.  I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        <b>17.  What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine 
        heart upon him?</b>
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> 18.  And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment?</b>
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> 19.  How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my 
        spittle?</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         20.  I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? why hast thou set 
        me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself?
      
    <br/>

      
         21.  And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? for now 
        shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.
