Job Continues: My Life Has No Hope

1“Has not man ra hard service on earth,

and are not his sdays like the days of a hired hand?

2Like a slave who longs for tthe shadow,

and like ua hired hand who looks for his vwages,

3so I am allotted months of wemptiness,

xand nights of misery are apportioned to me.

4yWhen I lie down I say, ‘When shall I arise?’

But the night is long,

and I am full of tossing till the dawn.

5My flesh is clothed with zworms and adirt;

my skin hardens, then bbreaks out afresh.

6My days are cswifter than da weaver's shuttle

and come to their end without hope.

7“Remember that my life is a ebreath;

my eye will never again see good.

8fThe eye of him who sees me will behold me no more;

while your eyes are on me, gI shall be gone.

9As hthe cloud fades and vanishes,

so he who igoes down to Sheol does not come up;

10he jreturns no more to his house,

nor does his kplace know him anymore.

11“Therefore I will not lrestrain my mouth;

I will speak in the anguish of my spirit;

I will mcomplain in nthe bitterness of my soul.

12Am I the sea, or oa sea monster,

that you set a guard over me?

13pWhen I say, ‘My bed will comfort me,

my couch will ease my complaint,’

14then you scare me with dreams

and terrify me with visions,

15so that I would choose strangling

and death rather than my qbones.

16I rloathe my life; I would not live forever.

sLeave me alone, for my days are ta breath.

17uWhat is man, that you make so much of him,

and that you set your heart on him,

18vvisit him every morning

and wtest him every moment?

19How long will you not xlook away from me,

nor leave me alone till I swallow my spit?

20If I sin, what do I do to you, you watcher of mankind?

Why have you made me yyour mark?

Why have I become a burden to you?

21Why do you not pardon my transgression

and take away my iniquity?

For now I shall lie in zthe earth;

you will aseek me, bbut I shall not be.”
