Job 7 :: King James Version (KJV)

Job's Life Seems Futile

Job 7:1Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling?

Job 7:2As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work:

Job 7:3So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.

Job 7:4When 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.

Job 7:5

Job 7:5My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome.

Job 7:6My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.

Job 7:7

Job 7:7O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good.

Job 7:8

Job 7:8The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.

Job 7:12Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?

Job 7:13

Job 7:13When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint;

Job 7:14

Job 7:14Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions:

Job 7:15

Job 7:15So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life.

Job 7:16

Job 7:16I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity.
