The Book of Job
7. fejezet
1. vers
“Isn’t a man forced to labor on earth? Aren’t his days like the days of a hired hand?
2. vers
As a servant who earnestly desires the shadow, as a hireling who looks for his wages,
3. vers
so I am made to possess months of misery, wearisome nights are appointed to me.
4. vers
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. vers
My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust. My skin closes up, and breaks out afresh.
6. vers
My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without hope.
7. vers
Oh remember that my life is a breath. My eye will no more see good.
8. vers
The eye of him who sees me will see me no more. Your eyes will be on me, but I will not be.
9. vers
As the cloud is consumed and vanishes away, so he who goes down to Sheol will come up no more.
10. vers
He will return no more to his house, neither will his place know him any more.
11. vers
“Therefore I will not keep silent. I will speak in the anguish of my spirit. I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
12. vers
Am I a sea, or a sea monster, that you put a guard over me?
13. vers
When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me. My couch will ease my complaint,’
14. vers
then you scare me with dreams and terrify me through visions,
15. vers
so that my soul chooses strangling, death rather than my bones.
16. vers
I loathe my life. I don’t want to live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.
17. vers
What is man, that you should magnify him, that you should set your mind on him,
18. vers
that you should visit him every morning, and test him every moment?
19. vers
How long will you not look away from me, nor leave me alone until I swallow down my spittle?
20. vers
If I have sinned, what do I do to you, you watcher of men? Why have you set me as a mark for you, so that I am a burden to myself?
21. vers
Why do you not pardon my disobedience, and take away my iniquity? For now will I lie down in the dust. You will seek me diligently, but I will not be.”
