< Job 7 >
1 ¿ Not [does] service [belong] to humankind (on *Q(k)*) earth and like [the] days of a hired laborer [are] days? his.
Is there not a time of service to man upon earth? And are not his days 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 that eagerly longeth for the shadow, and as a hireling that looketh for his wages;
3 So I have been allotted for myself months of worthlessness and nights of trouble people have allotted to me.
So am I made to possess — months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.
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 lie down, I say: 'When shall I arise?' But the night is long, and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.
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 worms and clods of dust; my skin closeth up and breaketh out afresh.
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 are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.
7 Remember that [is] a breath life my not it will return eye my to see good.
O remember that my life is a breath; mine eye shall no more see good.
8 Not it will observe me an eye of sight eyes your [will be] on me and there not [will be] me.
The eye of him that seeth me shall behold me no more; while Thine eyes are upon me, I am gone.
9 It vanishes a cloud and it has gone thus [one who] has gone down Sheol not he will come up. (Sheol )
As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away, so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more. (Sheol )
10 Not he will return again to house his and not it will acknowledge him again place his.
He shall return no more to 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.
Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish 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 a sea, or a sea-monster, that Thou settest a watch over me?
13 If I said it will comfort me couch my it will carry in complaint my bed my.
When I say: 'My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint';
14 And you will dismay me by dreams and from visions you will terrify me.
Then Thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions;
15 And it chose strangling self my death more than bones my.
So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than these my bones.
16 I reject not for ever I will live cease from me for [are] a breath days my.
I loathe it; I shall not live alway; let me alone; for my days are vanity.
17 What? [is] humankind that you will make great him and that you will set to him heart your.
What is man, that Thou shouldest magnify him, and that Thou shouldest set Thy heart upon him,
18 And you have visited him to mornings to moments you test him.
And that Thou shouldest remember him every morning, and try him every moment?
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 look away from me, nor let me alone till I 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.
If I have sinned, what do I unto Thee, O Thou watcher of men? Why hast Thou set me as a mark for Thee, so that I am a burden 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.
And why dost Thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? For now shall I lie down in the dust; and Thou wilt seek me, but I shall not be.
