1 ¿ Not [does] service [belong] to humankind (on *Q(k)*) earth and like [the] days of a hired laborer [are] days? his.
“Isn't life for human beings like serving a sentence of hard labor? Don't their days pass like those of a hired laborer?
2 Like a slave [who] he pants for shade and like a hired laborer [who] he longs for wage[s] his.
Like some slave longing for a bit of shade, like a hired hand anxiously waiting for pay day,

I've been given months of emptiness and nights of misery.
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.
When I go to bed I ask, ‘When shall I get up?’ But the night goes on and on, and I toss and turn until dawn.
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 body is covered with maggots and caked in dirt; my skin is cracked, with oozing sores.
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 pass quicker than a weaver's shuttle and they come to an end without hope.
7 Remember that [is] a breath life my not it will return eye my to see good.
Remember that my life is just a breath; I will not see happiness again.
8 Not it will observe me an eye of sight eyes your [will be] on me and there not [will be] me.
Those watching me won't see me anymore; your eyes will be looking for me, but I will be gone.
9 It vanishes a cloud and it has gone thus [one who] has gone down Sheol not he will come up. (Sheol h7585)
When a cloud disappears, it's gone, just as anyone who goes down to Sheol does not come back up. (Sheol h7585)
10 Not he will return again to house his and not it will acknowledge him again place his.
They will never return home, and the people they knew will forget them.
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.
So, no, I won't hold my tongue—I will speak in the agony of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
12 ¿ [the] sea [am] I Or? [the] sea monster that you will set over me a guard.
Am I the sea or a sea monster that you have to guard me?
13 If I said it will comfort me couch my it will carry in complaint my bed my.
If I tell myself, ‘I'll feel better if I lie down in my bed,’ or ‘it will help me to lie down on my couch,’
14 And you will dismay me by dreams and from visions you will terrify me.
then you scare me so much with dreams and terrify me with visions
15 And it chose strangling self my death more than bones my.
that I would rather be strangled—I would rather die than become just a bag of bones.
16 I reject not for ever I will live cease from me for [are] a breath days my.
I hate my life! I know I won't live long. Leave me alone because my life is just a breath.
17 What? [is] humankind that you will make great him and that you will set to him heart your.
Why are human beings so important to you; why are you so concerned about them
18 And you have visited him to mornings to moments you test him.
that you inspect them every morning and test them every moment? Won't you ever stop staring at me?
19 How long? not will you look away from me not will you let alone? me until swallow I spittle my.
Won't you ever leave me alone long enough to catch my breath?
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.
What have I done wrong? What have I done to you, Watcher of Humanity? Why have you made me your target, so that I'm a burden even 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.
If so why don't you pardon my sins, and take away my guilt? Right now I'm going to lie down in the dust, and though you will look for me, I will be gone.”
