Job 7:3 in context

Job 7:1–6

1

“Isn’t a man forced to labor on earth?

Aren’t his days like the days of a hired hand?

2

As a servant who earnestly desires the shadow,

as a hireling who looks for his wages,

3
Selected verse

so I am made to possess months of misery,

wearisome nights are appointed to me.

4

When I lie down, I say,

‘When will I arise, and the night be gone?’

I toss and turn until the dawning of the day.

5

My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust.

My skin closes up, and breaks out afresh.

6

My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle,

and are spent without hope.
