THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

Job 7:9 in context

Job 7:6–12

My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle,

and are spent without hope.

Oh remember that my life is a breath.

My eye will no more see good.

The eye of him who sees me will see me no more.

Your eyes will be on me, but I will not be.

Selected verse

As the cloud is consumed and vanishes away,

so he who goes down to Sheol ^† will come up no more.

He will return no more to his house,

neither will his place know him any more.

“Therefore I will not keep silent.

I will speak in the anguish of my spirit.

I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

Am I a sea, or a sea monster,

that you put a guard over me?
