Job excuseth his desire of death.1 ¶ [Is there] not² an appointed timeº to manº upon² earth?º [are not] his daysº also like the daysº of an hireling?º 2 As a servantº earnestly desirethºª the shadow,º and as an hirelingº looketh¹ª for² [the reward of] his work:º 3 So² am I made to possessºª monthsº of vanity,º and wearisomeº nightsº are appointedºª to me. 4 When² I lie down,ºª I say,ºª When² shall I arise,ºª and the nightº be gone?º and I am fullºª of tossings to and froº unto² the dawning of the day.º 5 My fleshº is clothedºª with wormsº and clodsº of dust;º my skinº is broken,ºª and become loathsome.ºª 6 My daysº are swifterºª than² a weaver's shuttle,º and are spentºª withoutº hope.º 7 O rememberºª that² my lifeº [is] wind:º mine eyeº shall no² moreºª seeºª good.º 8 The eyeº of him that hath seenº me shall seeºª me no² [more]: thine eyesº [are] upon me, and I [am] not.² 9 [As] the cloudº is consumedºª and vanisheth away:¹ª² so² he that goeth downºª to the graveº shall come upºª no² [more]. 10 He shall returnºª no² more² to his house,º neither² shall his placeº knowºª him any more.² 11 Therefore² I² will not² refrainºª my mouth;º I will speakºª in the anguishº of my spirit;º I will complainºª in the bitternessº of my soul.º [1] Lv 25:50; Dt 15:18; Jb 14:5, 6, 13; Ps 39:4; Ec 8:8; Is 21:16; 38:5; Mt 20:1; Jn 11:9.
