Job 7

1 Is there not an appointed time to man vpon earth? and are not his dayes as the dayes of an hyreling?

¿ Not [does] service [belong] to humankind (on *Qk) earth and like [the] days of a hired laborer [are] days? his.

2 As a seruant longeth for the shadowe, and as an hyreling looketh for the ende of his worke,

Like a slave [who] he pants for shade and like a hired laborer [who] he longs for wage[s] his.

3 So haue I had as an inheritance the moneths of vanitie, and painefull nights haue bene appointed vnto me.

So I have been allotted for myself months of worthlessness and nights of trouble people have allotted to me.

4 If I layed me downe, I sayde, When shall I arise? and measuring the euening I am euen full with tossing to and from vnto the dawning of the day.

If I lay down and I will say when? will I arise and it will continue evening and I will be surfeited restlessness until twilight.

5 My flesh is clothed with wormes and filthinesse of the dust: my skinne is rent, and become horrible.

It is clothed flesh my maggot[s] (and clod[s] of *Qk) dust skin my it has hardened and it has run.

6 My dayes are swifter then a weauers shittle, and they are spent without hope.

Days my they have been swift more than a weaver's shuttle and they have come to an end with not hope.

7 Remember that my life is but a wind, and that mine eye shall not returne to see pleasure.

Remember that [is] a breath life my not it will return eye my to see good.

8 The eye that hath seene me, shall see me no more: thine eyes are vpon me, and I shall be no longer.

Not it will observe me an eye of sight eyes your [will be] on me and there not [will be] me.

9 As the cloude vanisheth and goeth away, so he that goeth downe to the graue, shall come vp no more. (Sheol h7585)

It vanishes a cloud and it has gone thus [one who] has gone down Sheol not he will come up. (Sheol h7585)

10 He shall returne no more to his house, neither shall his place knowe him any more.

Not he will return again to house his and not it will acknowledge him again place his.

11 Therefore I will not spare my mouth, but will speake in the trouble of my spirite, and muse in the bitternesse of my minde.

Also I not I will restrain mouth my I will speak in [the] distress of spirit my I will complain in [the] bitterness of soul my.

12 Am I a sea or a whalefish, that thou keepest me in warde?

¿ [the] sea [am] I Or? [the] sea monster that you will set over me a guard.

13 When I say, My couch shall relieue me, and my bed shall bring comfort in my meditation,

If I said it will comfort me couch my it will carry in complaint my bed my.

14 Then fearest thou me with dreames, and astonishest me with visions.

And you will dismay me by dreams and from visions you will terrify me.

15 Therefore my soule chuseth rather to be strangled and to die, then to be in my bones.

And it chose strangling self my death more than bones my.

16 I abhorre it, I shall not liue alway: spare me then, for my dayes are but vanitie.

I reject not for ever I will live cease from me for [are] a breath days my.

17 What is man, that thou doest magnifie him, and that thou settest thine heart vpon him?

What? [is] humankind that you will make great him and that you will set to him heart your.

18 And doest visite him euery morning, and tryest him euery moment?

And you have visited him to mornings to moments you test him.

19 Howe long will it be yer thou depart from me? thou wilt not let me alone whiles I may swallowe my spettle.

How long? not will you look away from me not will you let alone? me until swallow I spittle my.

20 I haue sinned, what shall I do vnto thee? O thou preseruer of me, why hast thou set me as a marke against thee, so that I am a burden vnto my selfe?

I have sinned what? do I do - to you O watcher of humankind why? have you set me to a target of you and I have become on myself a burden.

21 And why doest thou not pardon my trespasse? and take away mine iniquitie? for nowe shall I sleepe in the dust, and if thou seekest me in the morning, I shall not be found.

And why? - not will you forgive transgression my so may you take away? iniquity my for now to the dust I will lie down and you will look for me and there not [will be] me.
