Job 7
1 “People need to work hard on this earth, like soldiers do; all during the time that we are alive, we work hard [RHQ], like laborers/servants do.
¿ Not [does] service [belong] to humankind (on *Q(k)*) earth and like [the] days of a hired laborer [are] days? his.
2 We are like [SIM] slaves who keep wanting to be in the cool shade, and we are like [SIM] workers who are waiting to be paid.
Like a slave [who] he pants for shade and like a hired laborer [who] he longs for wage[s] his.
3 God has given me many months [in which I think that it is] useless [to remain alive]; he has allotted/given to me many nights during which I feel miserable.
So I have been allotted for myself months of worthlessness and nights of trouble people have allotted to me.
4 When I lie down [at night] I say, ‘How long will it be until morning?’ But nights are long, and I (toss/turn over and over) [on my bed] until dawn.
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.
5 My body is covered with maggots and scabs; pus oozes out of my open sores.
It is clothed flesh my maggot[s] (and clod[s] of *Q(K)*) dust skin my it has hardened and it has run.
6 My days pass as quickly as a weaver’s (shuttle/stick that takes the thread back and forth), and they end without my confidently expecting [that things will be better the next day].
Days my they have been swift more than a weaver's shuttle and they have come to an end with not hope.
7 God, do not forget that my life is [as short as] a breath [MET]; I [think that] I [SYN] will never again be happy.
Remember that [is] a breath life my not it will return eye my to see good.
8 God, you [SYN] see me now, but [some day] you will not see me any more. You will search for me, but I will be gone [because I will be dead].
Not it will observe me an eye of sight eyes your [will be] on me and there not [will be] me.
9 Like [SIM] clouds (disperse/break up) and then disappear, people [die and] descend to the place where dead people are, and they do not return; (Sheol h7585)
It vanishes a cloud and it has gone thus [one who] has gone down Sheol not he will come up. (Sheol h7585)
10 they never return to their houses, and people among whom they lived do not remember them any more.
Not he will return again to house his and not it will acknowledge him again place his.
11 So, I will not be silent; while I am suffering I will speak; I will complain [to God about what has happened to me] because I [SYN] am very angry.
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.
12 [God, ] why do you watch closely what I am doing? [Do you think that] I am a [dangerous] sea monster?
¿ [the] sea [am] I Or? [the] sea monster that you will set over me a guard.
13 When [I lie down at night, ] I think, ‘I will be comforted here on my bed; my pain will be less while I am sleeping.’
If I said it will comfort me couch my it will carry in complaint my bed my.
14 But then you give me dreams that cause me to be afraid; you give me visions that terrify me,
And you will dismay me by dreams and from visions you will terrify me.
15 with the result that I would prefer to be strangled to death than to continue to [be alive] being only a bunch of bones.
And it chose strangling self my death more than bones my.
16 I detest continuing to be alive; I do not want to live for many years [HYP]. Allow me to be alone, [because I will be alive] for only a very short remaining time [HYP].
I reject not for ever I will live cease from me for [are] a breath days my.
17 “We human beings are not [very important]; so, why do you pay a lot of attention to us [DOU]?
What? [is] humankind that you will make great him and that you will set to him heart your.
18 You look at us every morning [to see what we are doing], and examine us every moment [to see if we are doing what is right].
And you have visited him to mornings to moments you test him.
19 (When will you stop looking at me and leave me alone [for a little time], long enough to swallow my spit?/Please stop looking at me and leave me alone [for a little time], long enough to swallow my spit.) [RHQ]
How long? not will you look away from me not will you let alone? me until swallow I spittle my.
20 [Why do] you watch me constantly? If I sin, that certainly does not harm you! Why have you set me up like a target to shoot at? Do you consider me to be a heavy load that you are forced to carry?
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.
21 [If I have sinned, ] are you not able to forgive me for my sins— the things that I have done that are wrong? Soon I will lie in my grave; you will search for me, but [you will not find me because] I will be [dead and] gone.”
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.
