< 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 warfare to man on earth? And his days as the days of a hired worker?
2 Like a slave [who] he pants for shade and like a hired laborer [who] he longs for wage[s] his.
As a servant desires the shadow, And as a hired worker expects his wage,
3 So I have been allotted for myself months of worthlessness and nights of trouble people have allotted to me.
So I have been caused to inherit months of vanity, And they numbered nights of misery 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.
If I lay down, then I have said, When do I rise, And evening has been measured? And I have been full of tossings 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 flesh has been clothed [with] worms, And a clod of dust, My skin has been shriveled and is 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 swifter than a loom, And they are consumed without hope.
7 Remember that [is] a breath life my not it will return eye my to see good.
Remember that my life [is] a breath, My eye does not turn back to 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 my beholder does not behold me. Your eyes [are] on me—and I am not.
9 It vanishes a cloud and it has gone thus [one who] has gone down Sheol not he will come up. (Sheol )
A cloud has been consumed, and it goes, So he who is going down to Sheol does not come up. (Sheol )
10 Not he will return again to house his and not it will acknowledge him again place his.
He does not turn to his house again, Nor does his place discern him again.
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.
Also I do not withhold my mouth—I speak in the distress of my spirit, I talk 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 [monster], or a dragon, That You set a watch over me?
13 If I said it will comfort me couch my it will carry in complaint my bed my.
When I said, My bed comforts me, In my talking He takes away my couch.
14 And you will dismay me by dreams and from visions you will terrify me.
And You have frightened me with dreams, And You terrify me from visions,
15 And it chose strangling self my death more than bones my.
And my soul chooses strangling, Death rather than my bones.
16 I reject not for ever I will live cease from me for [are] a breath days my.
I have wasted away—I do not live for all time. Cease from me, 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 You magnify him? And that You set Your heart to him?
18 And you have visited him to mornings to moments you test him.
And inspect him in the mornings, [And] in the evenings try him?
19 How long? not will you look away from me not will you let alone? me until swallow I spittle my.
How long do You not look from me? You do not desist until I swallow 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 do I do to You, O watcher of man? Why have You set me for a mark to You, And I am for a burden to myself—and what?
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.
You do not take away my transgression, And [do not] cause my iniquity to pass away, Because now, I lie down in dust, And You have sought me—and I am not!”
