< 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 warfare to a mortal, upon earth? And, as the days of a hireling, are not his days?
2 Like a slave [who] he pants for shade and like a hired laborer [who] he longs for wage[s] his.
As, a bondman, panteth for the shadow, and as, a hireling, longeth for his wage,
3 So I have been allotted for myself months of worthlessness and nights of trouble people have allotted to me.
So, have I been made to inherit months of calamity, and, nights of weariness, have been appointed 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.
As soon as I lie down, I say, When shall I arise? yet he lengtheneth out the evening, and I am wearied with tossings until the breeze of twilight.
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 a coating of dust, My skin, hath hardened, and then run 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 they are spent, without hope.
7 Remember that [is] a breath life my not it will return eye my to see good.
Remember thou, that, a wind, is my life, not again shall mine eye see blessing:
8 Not it will observe me an eye of sight eyes your [will be] on me and there not [will be] me.
Nor shall see me—the eye that used to behold me, Thine eyes, are upon 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 h7585)
A cloud faileth, and is gone, So, he that descendeth to hades, shall not come up: (Sheol h7585)
10 Not he will return again to house his and not it will acknowledge him again place his.
He shall not return again to his house, and his own place shall be acquainted with him no 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.
I also, cannot restrain my mouth, —I must speak, in the anguish of my spirit, I must find utterance, 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 shouldst set over me a watch?
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 help to carry my complaint,
14 And you will dismay me by dreams and from visions you will terrify me.
Then thou scarest me with dreams, and, by visions, dost thou terrify me:
15 And it chose strangling self my death more than bones my.
So that my soul chooseth strangling, 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 am wasted away, Not, to times age-abiding, can I live, Let me alone, for, a breath, are my days.
17 What? [is] humankind that you will make great him and that you will set to him heart your.
What is a mortal, that thou shouldst nurture him? Or that thou shouldst fix upon him thy mind?
18 And you have visited him to mornings to moments you test him.
That thou shouldst inspect him morning by morning, moment by moment, shouldst test him?
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? Wilt thou not let me alone, till I can 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 can I do for thee, thou watcher of men? Wherefore hast thou set me as thine object of attack, or have I become, unto thee, a burden?
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 remove my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? For, now, in the dust, should I lie down, and thou shouldst seek me diligently, and I should not be.
