Job 7:4
Compare all
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 “Mya days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle,
And are spent without hope. 
7 Oh, remember that amy life is a breath!
My eye will never again see good.

Job 7:4

When I lie down - I have so little rest, that when I do lie down I long for the return of the light, that I may rise. Nothing can better depict the state of a man under continual afflictions, which afford him no respite, his days and his nights being spent in constant anguish, utterly unable to be in any one posture, so that he is continually changing his position in his bed, finding ease nowhere: thus, as himself expresses it, he is full of tossings.
