욥기 7장 Coverdale Bible
- 1 Is not the life off ma vpon earth a very batayll? Are not his dayes, like the dayes of an hyred seruaunte?
- 2 For like as a bonde seruaunt desyreth the shadowe, and as an hyrelinge wolde fayne haue an ende of his worke:
- 3 Euen so haue I laboured whole monethes longe (but in vayne) and many a carefull night haue I tolde.
- 4 When I layed me downe to slepe, I sayde: O when shal I ryse? Agayne, I longed sore for the night. Thus am I full off sorowe, till it be darcke.
- 5 My flesh is clothed with wormes, fylthinesse and dust: my skynne is wythered, and crompled together:
- 6 my dayes passe ouer more spedely, the a weeuer can weeue out his webbe, and are gone, or I am awarre.
- 7 O remembre, that my life is but a wynde, ad that myne eye shal nomore se the pleasures
- 8 therof yee and that none other mans eye shall se me eny more. For yf thou fasten thine eyes vpon me, I come to naught like
- 9 as a cloude is cosumed and vanyshed awaye, euen so he that goeth downe to hell, commeth nomore vp,
- 10 ner turneth agayne in to his house, nether shall his place knowe him eny more.
- 11 Therfore I will not spare my mouth, but will speake in the trouble of my sprete, in ye bytternesse of my mynde will I talke.
- 12 Am I a see or a whalfysh, that thou kepest me so in preson?
- 13 When I thynke: my bedd shall comforte me, I shall haue some refresshinge by talkynge with myself vpon my couche:
- 14 The troublest thou me with dreames, ad makest me so afrayed thorow visions,
- 15 that my soule wyssheth rather to be hanged, and my bones to be deed.
- 16 I can se no remedy, I shall lyue nomore: O spare me then, for my dayes are but vayne
- 17 What is man, that thou hast him in soch reputacion, and settest so moch by him?
- 18 Thou takest diligent care for him, and sodely doest thou trye him.
- 19 Why goest thou not fro me, ner lettest me alone, so longe till I swalow downe my spetle?
- 20 I haue offended, what shal I do vnto ye, O thou preseruer off men? Why hast thou made me to stonde in thy waye, and am so heuy a burden vnto myself?
- 21 Why doest thou not forgeue me my synne? Wherfore takest thou not awaye my wickednesse? Beholde, now must I slepe in the dust: and yff thou sekest me tomorow in the mornynge, I shalbe gone.
