Job 7:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 7:7

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.

10 He shall never return to his house,
^aNor shall his place know him anymore.

11 “Therefore I will ^anot restrain my mouth;
I will speak in the anguish of my spirit;
I will ^bcomplain in the bitterness of my soul.

12 Am I a sea, or a sea serpent,
That You set a guard over me?
