욥기 7장 NASB

1. ¹ "Is not man forced to labor on earth And are not his days like the days of a hired man?
2. ² "As a slave who pants for the shade And as a hired man who eagerly waits for his wages
3. ³ So am I allotted months of vanity And nights of trouble are appointed me.
4. ⁴ "When I lie down I say 'When shall I arise?' But the night continues And I am continually tossing until dawn.
5. ⁵ "My flesh is clothed with worms and a crust of dirt My skin hardens and runs.
6. ⁶ "My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle And come to an end without hope.
7. ⁷ "Remember that my life is but breath; My eye will not again see good.
8. ⁸ "The eye of him who sees me will behold me no longer; Your eyes will be on me but I will not be.
9. ⁹ "When a cloud vanishes it is gone So he who goes down to Sheol does not come up.
10. ¹⁰ "He will not return again to his house Nor will his place know him anymore.
11. ¹¹ "Therefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
12. ¹² "Am I the sea or the sea monster That You set a guard over me?
13. ¹³ "If I say 'My bed will comfort me My couch will ease my complaint'
14. ¹⁴ Then You frighten me with dreams And terrify me by visions;
15. ¹⁵ So that my soul would choose suffocation Death rather than my pains.
16. ¹⁶ "I waste away; I will not live forever. Leave me alone for my days are but a breath.
17. ¹⁷ "What is man that You magnify him And that You are concerned about him
18. ¹⁸ That You examine him every morning And try him every moment?
19. ¹⁹ "Will You never turn Your gaze away from me Nor let me alone until I swallow my spittle?
20. ²⁰ "Have I sinned? What have I done to You O watcher of men? Why have You set me as Your target So that I am a burden to myself?
21. ²¹ "Why then do You not pardon my transgression And take away my iniquity? For now I will lie down in the dust; And You will seek me but I will not be."
