Job 7:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 7:4

2 Like a servant who¹ earnestly desires the shade,
And like a hired man who eagerly looks for his wages,

3 So I have been allotted ^amonths of futility,
And wearisome nights have been appointed to me.

4 ^aWhen I lie down, I say, ‘When shall I arise,
And the night be ended?’
For I have had my fill of tossing till dawn.

5 My flesh is ^acaked with worms and dust,
My skin is cracked and breaks out afresh.

6 “My^a days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle,
And are spent without hope.
