Is there not a warfare to man upon earth? and are not his days like the days of an hireling? |
2
|
As a servant that earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling that looketh for his wages: |
3
|
So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me. |
4
|
When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise? but the night is long; and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day. |
5
|
My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin closeth up and breaketh out afresh. |
6
|
My days are swifter than a weaver-s shuttle, and are spent without hope. |
7
|
Oh remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good. |
8
|
The eye of him that seeth me shall behold me no more: thine eyes shall be upon me, but I shall not be. |
9
|
As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away, so he that goeth down to Sheol shall come up no more. |
10
|
He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more. |
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. |
12
|
Am I a sea, or a sea-monster, that thou settest a watch over me? |
13
|
When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint; |
14
|
Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions: |
15
|
So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than {cf15i these} my bones. |
16
|
I loathe {cf15i my life}; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity. |
17
|
What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him, and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him, |
18
|
And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment? |
19
|
How long wilt thou not look away from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle? |
20
|
If I have sinned, what do I unto thee, O thou watcher of men? why hast thou set me as a mark for thee, so that I am a burden to myself? |
21
|
And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I lie down in the dust; and thou shall seek me diligently, but I shall not be. |
