Job 7:5

Job 7:5

Compare all

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.

7 Oh, remember that ^amy life is a breath!
My eye will never again see good.

8 ^aThe eye of him who sees me will see me no more;
While your eyes are upon me, I shall no longer be.

9 As the cloud disappears and vanishes away,
So ^ahe who goes down to the grave does not come up.

Worms - Which were bred out of Job's corrupted flesh and sores. Dust - The dust of the earth upon which he lay. Broken - By ulcers in all parts of it.
