Job 7
Reading Job chapter 7 in the Webster's Bible, public-domain text from 1833.
Verses 1–10
1 [Is there] not an appointed time to man upon earth? [are not] his days also like the days of a hireling?
2 As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as a hireling looketh for [the reward of] his work;
3 So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.
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 to the dawning of the day.
5 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken and become lothsome.
6 My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.
7 O remember that my life [is] wind: my eye will no more see good.
8 The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no [more]: thy eyes [are] upon me, and I [am] not.
9 [As] the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no [more].
10 He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.
