Job’s Life Seems Futile

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:1 -

[fn]Is a person H582 not forced H6635 to H6635 labor H6635 on earth H776,

And are his days H3117 not like the days H3117 of a hired H7916 worker H7916?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:2 -

“As a slave H5650 pants H7602 for the shade H6738,

And as a hired H7916 worker H7916 who eagerly H6960 waits H6960 for his wages H6467,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:3 -

So H3651 I am allotted H5157 worthless H7723 months H3391,

And nights H3915 of trouble H5999 are apportioned H4487 to me.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:4 -

“When H518 I lie H7901 down H7901, I say H559,

‘When H4970 shall I arise H6965?’

But the night H6153 continues H4058,

And I am H7646 continually H7646 tossing H5076 until H5704 dawn H5399.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:5 -

“My flesh H1320 is clothed H3847 with maggots H7415 and a crust H1487 of dirt H6083,

My skin H5785 hardens H7280 and [fn]oozes H4549.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:6 -

“My days H3117 are H7043 swifter H7043 than H4480 a weaver’s H708 shuttle H708,

And they come H3615 to H3615 an H3615 end H3615 without H657 hope H8615.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:7 -

“Remember H2142 that my life H2416 is a mere breath H7307;

My eye H5869 will not see H7200 goodness H2896 again H7725.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:8 -

“The eye H5869 of him who sees H7210 me will no H3808 longer look H7789 at H7789 me;

Your eyes H5869 will be on me, but I will not H369 exist H369.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:9 -

“When a cloud H6051 vanishes H3615, it is gone H1980;

In H3651 the H3651 same H3651 way H3651 one who goes H3381 down H3381 to [fn]Sheol H7585 does not come H5927 up H5927.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:10 -

“He will not return H7725 to his house H1004 again H5750,

Nor H3808 will his place H4725 know H5234 about H5234 him anymore H5750.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:11 -

“Therefore H1571 I will not restrain H2820 my mouth H6310;

I will speak H1696 in the anguish H6862 of my spirit H7307,

I will complain H7878 in H7878 the bitterness H4751 of my soul H5315.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:12 -

“Am I the sea H3220, or H518 the sea H8577 monster H8577,

That You set H7760 a guard H4929 over H5921 me?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:13 -

“If H3588 I say H559, ‘My couch H6210 will comfort H5162 me,

My bed H4904 will [fn]ease H5375 my complaint H7879,’

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:14 -

Then You frighten H2865 me with dreams H2472,

And terrify H1204 me by visions H2384,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:15 -

So that my soul H5315 would choose H977 suffocation H4267,

Death H4194 rather H4480 than H4480 my [fn]pains H6106.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:16 -

“I [fn]waste H3988 away H3988; I will not live H2421 forever H5769.

Leave H2308 me alone H4480, for my days H3117 are only a breath H1892.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:17 -

“What H4100 is man H582 that You exalt H1431 him,

And that You [fn]are H7896 concerned H7896 H3820 about H413 him,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:18 -

That You examine H6485 him every morning H1242

And put H974 him to H974 the H974 test H974 every moment H7281?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:19 -

[fn]Will You never H3808 turn H8159 Your gaze H8159 away H8159 from me,

Nor H3808 leave H7503 me alone H7503 until H5704 I swallow H1104 my spittle H7536?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:20 -

“Have I sinned H2398? What H4100 have I done H6466 to You,

Watcher H5341 of mankind H120?

Why H4100 have You made H7760 me Your target H4645,

So that I am H1961 a burden H4853 to myself?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:21 -

“Why H4100 then do You not forgive H5375 my wrongdoing H6588

And take H5674 away H5674 my [fn]guilt H5771?

For now H6258 I will lie H7901 down H7901 in the dust H6083;

And You will search H7836 for me, but I will no H369 longer exist H369.”
