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.
