< Job 7 >
1 ¿ Not [does] service [belong] to humankind (on *Q(k)*) earth and like [the] days of a hired laborer [are] days? his.
The life of man upon earth is a warfare, and his days are like the days of a hireling.
2 Like a slave [who] he pants for shade and like a hired laborer [who] he longs for wage[s] his.
As a servant longeth for the shade, as the hireling looketh for the end of his work;
3 So I have been allotted for myself months of worthlessness and nights of trouble people have allotted to me.
So I also have had empty months, and have numbered to myself wearisome nights.
4 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.
If I lie down to sleep, I shall say: When shall arise? and again I shall look for the evening, and shall be filled with sorrows even till darkness.
5 It is clothed flesh my maggot[s] (and clod[s] of *Q(K)*) dust skin my it has hardened and it has run.
My flesh is clothed with rottenness and the filth of dust, my skin is withered and drawn together.
6 Days my they have been swift more than a weaver's shuttle and they have come to an end with not hope.
My days have passed more swiftly than the web is cut by the weaver, and are consumed without any hope.
7 Remember that [is] a breath life my not it will return eye my to see good.
Remember that my life is but wind, and my eyes shall not return to see good things.
8 Not it will observe me an eye of sight eyes your [will be] on me and there not [will be] me.
Nor shall the sight of man behold me: thy eyes are upon me, and I shall be no more.
9 It vanishes a cloud and it has gone thus [one who] has gone down Sheol not he will come up. (Sheol )
As a cloud is consumed, and passeth away: so he that shall go down to hell shall not come up. (Sheol )
10 Not he will return again to house his and not it will acknowledge him again place his.
Nor shall he return my more into his house, neither shall his place know him any more.
11 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.
Wherefore I will not spare my month, I will speak in the affliction of my spirit: I will talk with the bitterness of my soul.
12 ¿ [the] sea [am] I Or? [the] sea monster that you will set over me a guard.
Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou hast enclosed me in a prison?
13 If I said it will comfort me couch my it will carry in complaint my bed my.
If I say: My bed shall comfort me, and I shall be relieved speaking with myself on my couch:
14 And you will dismay me by dreams and from visions you will terrify me.
Thou wilt frighten me with dreams and terrify me with visions.
15 And it chose strangling self my death more than bones my.
So that my soul rather chooseth hanging, and my bones death.
16 I reject not for ever I will live cease from me for [are] a breath days my.
I have done with hope, I shall now live no longer: spare me, for my days are nothing.
17 What? [is] humankind that you will make great him and that you will set to him heart your.
What is a man that thou shouldst magnify him? or why dost thou set thy heart upon him?
18 And you have visited him to mornings to moments you test him.
Thou visitest him early in the morning, and thou provest him suddenly.
19 How long? not will you look away from me not will you let alone? me until swallow I spittle my.
How long wilt thou not spare me, nor suffer me to swallow down my spittle?
20 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.
I have sinned: what shall I do to thee, O keeper of men? why hast thou set me opposite to thee, and I am become burdensome to myself?
21 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.
Why dost thou not remove my sin, and why dost thou not take away my iniquity? Behold now I shall sleep in the dust: and if thou seek me in the morning, I shall not be.
