Job 7

Verses of Job 7 of the NIV from the book of the bible

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - "Does not man have hard service on earth? Are not his days like those of a hired man?
2 - Like a slave longing for the evening shadows, or a hired man waiting eagerly for his wages,
3 - so I have been allotted months of futility, and nights of misery have been assigned to me.
4 - When I lie down I think, 'How long before I get up?' The night drags on, and I toss till dawn.
5 - My body is clothed with worms and scabs, my skin is broken and festering.
6 - "My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and they come to an end without hope.
7 - Remember, O God, that my life is but a breath; my eyes will never see happiness again.
8 - The eye that now sees me will see me no longer; you will look for me, but I will be no more.
9 - As a cloud vanishes and is gone, so he who goes down to the grave does not return.
10 - He will never come to his house again; his place will know him no more.
11 - "Therefore I will not keep silent; I will speak out in the anguish of my spirit, I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
12 - Am I the sea, or the monster of the deep, that you put me under guard?
13 - When I think my bed will comfort me and my couch will ease my complaint,
14 - even then you frighten me with dreams and terrify me with visions,
15 - so that I prefer strangling and death, rather than this body of mine.
16 - I despise my life; I would not live forever. Let me alone; my days have no meaning.
17 - "What is man that you make so much of him, that you give him so much attention,
18 - that you examine him every morning and test him every moment?
19 - Will you never look away from me, or let me alone even for an instant?
20 - If I have sinned, what have I done to you, O watcher of men? Why have you made me your target? Have I become a burden to you?
21 - Why do you not pardon my offenses and forgive my sins? For I will soon lie down in the dust; you will search for me, but I will be no more."
