Chapter 7
Job MKJV 7:1  Is there not a warfare to man on earth? Are not his days also like the days of a hireling?
Job MKJV 7:2  As a servant earnestly desires the shadow, and as a hireling looks for his wages,
Job MKJV 7:3  so I am made to possess months of vanity, and weary nights are appointed to me.
Job MKJV 7:4  When I lie down, I say, When shall I rise? But the night is long, and I am full of tossing to and fro until the dawning of the day.
Job MKJV 7:5  My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken and has run afresh.
Job MKJV 7:6  My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are ended without hope.
Job MKJV 7:7  Remember that my life is a breath; my eye shall no more see good.
Job MKJV 7:8  The eye of him who has seen me shall see me no more; Your eyes are on me, and I am gone.
Job MKJV 7:9  As the cloud falls and vanishes away, so he who goes down to the grave shall come up no more.
Job MKJV 7:10  He shall return no more to his house, nor shall his place know him any more.
Job MKJV 7:11  Therefore I will not hold my mouth; I will speak in the trouble of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
Job MKJV 7:12  Am I like the sea, or a whale, that You set a watch over me?
Job MKJV 7:13  When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint,
Job MKJV 7:14  then You scare me with dreams, and terrify me with visions;
Job MKJV 7:15  so that my soul chooses strangling, death rather than my life.
Job MKJV 7:16  I despise them; I will not live always; let me alone, for my days are vanity.
Job MKJV 7:17  What is man, that You should magnify him, and that You should set Your heart on him,
Job MKJV 7:18  and visit him every morning, trying him every moment?
Job MKJV 7:19  Until when will You look away from me, nor let me alone until I swallow down my spittle?
Job MKJV 7:20  I have sinned. What shall I do to You, O Watcher of men? Why have You set me as a target for You, so that I am a burden to myself?
Job MKJV 7:21  And why do You not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? For now I shall sleep in the dust, and You shall seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.
