Editing Job 7

* [[Job 7:1|1]] Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling?

* [[Job 7:2|2]] As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work:

* [[Job 7:3|3]] So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.

* [[Job 7:4|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.

* [[Job 7:5|5]] My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome.

* [[Job 7:6|6]] My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.

* [[Job 7:7|7]] O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good.

* [[Job 7:8|8]] The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.

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

* [[Job 7:10|10]] He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.

* [[Job 7:11|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.

* [[Job 7:12|12]] Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?

* [[Job 7:13|13]] When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaints;

* [[Job 7:14|14]] Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions:

* [[Job 7:15|15]] So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life.

* [[Job 7:16|16]] I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity.

* [[Job 7:17|17]] What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him?

* [[Job 7:18|18]] And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment?

* [[Job 7:19|19]] How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?

* [[Job 7:20|20]] I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself?

* [[Job 7:21|21]] And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.
