< 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 limited time of service to a mortal upon the earth? Are not his days also like the days 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.
As a servant eagerly longeth for the shadow, and as a hired laborer hopeth for his reward:
3 So I have been allotted for myself months of worthlessness and nights of trouble people have allotted to me.
So was I compelled to possess months of vanity, and nights of trouble were counted out unto 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 He down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am wearied with tossings about till the dawn of 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 covered with worms and clods of dust: my skin is burst open, and become loathsome.
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 hasten away more swiftly than a weaver's shuttle, and they come to an end in the absence of hope.
7 Remember that [is] a breath life my not it will return eye my to see good.
Oh remember that nothing but a breath is my life; that my eye will not again see happiness;
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 now will not behold me again: [thou fixest] thy eyes upon me, and I am no more.
9 It vanishes a cloud and it has gone thus [one who] has gone down Sheol not he will come up. (Sheol h7585)
As the cloud vanisheth and passeth away: so will he that goeth down to the nether world not come up again. (Sheol h7585)
10 Not he will return again to house his and not it will acknowledge him again place his.
He will return no more to his house, and his place will not recognize 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 will I also not restrain 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 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.
For should I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall help me bear my complaint:
14 And you will dismay me by dreams and from visions you will terrify me.
Then wouldst thou frighten me with dreams, and with visions wouldst thou terrify me;
15 And it chose strangling self my death more than bones my.
So that my soul would choose strangling, death rather than these limbs of mine.
16 I reject not for ever I will live cease from me for [are] a breath days my.
I loathe it; I cannot live for ever: let me alone; for my days are but nought.
17 What? [is] humankind that you will make great him and that you will set to him heart your.
What is the mortal, that thou shouldst make him great? and that thou shouldst direct thy heart toward him?
18 And you have visited him to mornings to moments you test him.
And that thou shouldst visit him every morning, probe 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 turn thy regard from me, nor let; me loose 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 [injury] can I cause unto thee, O thou Guardian of men? why hast thou set me as an object for thee to strike at, so that I am become 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 wilt thou not forgive my transgression, and let my iniquity pass away? for soon must I lie down in the dust; and thou wilt seek for me, but I shall be no more.
