< Job 7 >
1 Has not man his ordered time of trouble on the earth? and are not his days like the days of a servant working for payment?
¿ Not [does] service [belong] to humankind (on *Q(k)*) earth and like [the] days of a hired laborer [are] days? his.
2 As a servant desiring the shades of evening, and a workman looking for his payment:
Like a slave [who] he pants for shade and like a hired laborer [who] he longs for wage[s] his.
3 So I have for my heritage months of pain to no purpose, and nights of weariness are given to me.
So I have been allotted for myself months of worthlessness and nights of trouble people have allotted to me.
4 When I go to my bed, I say, When will it be time to get up? but the night is long, and I am turning from side to side till morning light.
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 covered with worms and dust; my skin gets hard and then is cracked again.
It is clothed flesh my maggot[s] (and clod[s] of *Q(K)*) dust skin my it has hardened and it has run.
6 My days go quicker than the cloth-worker's thread, and come to an end 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 O, keep in mind that my life is wind: my eye will never again see good.
Remember that [is] a breath life my not it will return eye my to see good.
8 The eye of him who sees me will see me no longer: your eyes will be looking for me, but I will be gone.
Not it will observe me an eye of sight eyes your [will be] on me and there not [will be] me.
9 A cloud comes to an end and is gone; so he who goes down into the underworld comes not up again. (Sheol )
It vanishes a cloud and it has gone thus [one who] has gone down Sheol not he will come up. (Sheol )
10 He will not come back to his house, and his place will have no more knowledge of him.
Not he will return again to house his and not it will acknowledge him again place his.
11 So I will not keep my mouth shut; I will let the words come from it in the pain of my spirit, my soul will make a bitter outcry.
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 sea-beast, that you put a watch over me?
¿ [the] sea [am] I Or? [the] sea monster that you will set over me a guard.
13 When I say, In my bed I will have comfort, there I will get rest from my disease;
If I said it will comfort me couch my it will carry in complaint my bed my.
14 Then you send dreams to me, and visions of fear;
And you will dismay me by dreams and from visions you will terrify me.
15 So that a hard death seems better to my soul than my pains.
And it chose strangling self my death more than bones my.
16 I have no desire for life, I would not be living for ever! Keep away from me, for my days are as a breath.
I reject not for ever I will live cease from me for [are] a breath days my.
17 What is man, that you have made him great, and that your attention is fixed on him,
What? [is] humankind that you will make great him and that you will set to him heart your.
18 And that your hand is on him every morning, and that you are testing him every minute?
And you have visited him to mornings to moments you test him.
19 How long will it be before your eyes are turned away from me, so that I may have a minute's breathing-space?
How long? not will you look away from me not will you let alone? me until swallow I spittle my.
20 If I have done wrong, what have I done to you, O keeper of men? why have you made me a mark for your blows, so that I am a weariness to myself?
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 do you not take away my sin, and let my wrongdoing be ended? for now I go down to the dust, and you will be searching for me with care, but I will be gone.
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.
