Job 7:3-14

1. 3 So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.

2. 4 When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.

3. 5 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome.

4. 6 My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.

5. 7 O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good.

6. 8 The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.

7. 9 As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more.

8. 10 He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.

9. 11 Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

10. 12 Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?

11. 13 When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint;

12. 14 Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions:
