Job 7:3 in context

  1. 1“Isn’t a man forced to labor on earth?
    Aren’t his days like the days of a hired hand?
  2. 2As a servant who earnestly desires the shadow,
    as a hireling who looks for his wages,
  3. 3so am I made to possess months of misery,
    wearisome nights are appointed to me.
  4. 4When 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. 5My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust.
    My skin closes up, and breaks out afresh.
