Ayub 7:1-21

The Brevity of Life

7:1 “Does not humanity have hard service on earth?

Are not their days also

like the days of a hired man?

7:2 Like a servant longing for the evening shadow,

and like a hired man looking for his wages,

7:3 thus I have been made to inherit

months of futility,

and nights of sorrow 10 

have been appointed 11  to me.

7:4 If I lie down, I say, 12  ‘When will I arise?’,

and the night stretches on 13 

and I toss and turn restlessly 14 

until the day dawns.

7:5 My body 15  is clothed 16  with worms 17  and dirty scabs; 18 

my skin is broken 19  and festering.

7:6 My days 20  are swifter 21  than a weaver’s shuttle 22 

and they come to an end without hope. 23 

7:7 Remember 24  that my life is but a breath,

that 25  my eyes will never again 26  see happiness.

7:8 The eye of him who sees me now will see me no more; 27 

your eyes will look for me, but I will be gone. 28 

7:9 As 29  a cloud is dispersed and then disappears, 30 

so the one who goes down to the grave 31 

does not come up again. 32 

7:10 He returns no more to his house,

nor does his place of residence 33  know him 34  any more.

Job Remonstrates with God

7:11 “Therefore, 35  I will not refrain my mouth; 36 

I will speak in the anguish of my spirit;

I will complain 37  in the bitterness of my soul.

7:12 Am I the sea, or the creature of the deep, 38 

that you must put 39  me under guard? 40 

7:13 If 41  I say, 42  “My bed will comfort me, 43 

my couch will ease 44  my complaint,”

7:14 then you scare me 45  with dreams

and terrify 46  me with 47  visions,

7:15 so that I 48  would prefer 49  strangling, 50 

and 51  death 52  more 53  than life. 54 

7:16 I loathe 55  it; 56  I do not want to live forever;

leave me alone, 57  for my days are a vapor! 58 

Insignificance of Humans

7:17 “What is mankind 59  that you make so much of them, 60 

and that you pay attention 61  to them?

7:18 And that you visit 62  them every morning,

and try 63  them every moment? 64 

7:19 Will you never 65  look away from me, 66 

will you not let me alone 67 

long enough to swallow my spittle?

7:20 If 68  I have sinned – what have I done to you, 69 

O watcher of men? 70 

Why have you set me as your target? 71 

Have I become a burden to you? 72 

7:21 And why do you not pardon my transgression,

and take away my iniquity?

For now I will lie down in the dust, 73 

and you will seek me diligently, 74 

but I will be gone.”
