< Job 7 >
1 ¿ Not [does] service [belong] to humankind (on *Q(k)*) earth and like [the] days of a hired laborer [are] days? his.
Does not man have hard labor on earth? Are not his days like the days of a hired man?
2 Like a slave [who] he pants for shade and like a hired laborer [who] he longs for wage[s] his.
Like a slave earnestly desires the shadows of evening, like a hired man looks for his wages—
3 So I have been allotted for myself months of worthlessness and nights of trouble people have allotted to me.
so I have been made to endure months of misery; I have been given trouble-filled nights.
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 to myself, 'When will I get up and when will the night be gone?' I am full of tossing to and fro until the day's dawning.
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; the sores in my skin harden up and then dissolve and 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; they pass without hope.
7 Remember that [is] a breath life my not it will return eye my to see good.
God, call to mind that my life is only a breath; my eye will 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 God, who sees me, will see me no more; God's eyes will be on me, but I will not exist.
9 It vanishes a cloud and it has gone thus [one who] has gone down Sheol not he will come up. (Sheol )
As a cloud is consumed and vanishes away, so he who goes down to Sheol will come up no more. (Sheol )
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; neither will his place know 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.
Therefore I will 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 the sea or a sea monster that you place a guard 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 will comfort me, and my couch will ease my complaint,'
14 And you will dismay me by dreams and from visions you will terrify me.
then you scare me with dreams and terrify me through visions,
15 And it chose strangling self my death more than bones my.
so that I would choose strangling and death rather than preserving these bones of mine.
16 I reject not for ever I will live cease from me for [are] a breath days my.
I loathe my life; I would not wish to always be alive; let me alone for my days are useless.
17 What? [is] humankind that you will make great him and that you will set to him heart your.
What is man that you should pay attention to him, that you should set your mind on him,
18 And you have visited him to mornings to moments you test him.
that you should observe him every morning and test 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 will it be before you look away from me, before you let me alone long enough for me to swallow down my own saliva?
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.
Even if I have sinned, what would that do to you, you who watch men? Why have you made a target of me, so that I am a burden for you?
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.
Why do you not pardon my transgression and take away my iniquity? For now will I lie down in the dust; you will seek me carefully, but I will not exist.”
