Man's Months of Vanity - Job 7

By -
Job 7:1 Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth?  are not his days also like the days of an hireling? 

Job 7:2 As  a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling  looketh for the reward of his work: 

Job 7:3 So am I made to  possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are  appointed to me. 

Job 7:4 When I lie down, I say, When shall I  arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and  fro unto the dawning of the day. 

Job 7:5 My flesh is clothed  with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and  become loathsome. 

Job 7:6 My days are swifter than a  weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without hope. 

Job 7:7 O  remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see  good. 

Job 7:8 The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me  no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not. 

Job 7:9  As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that  goeth down to the grave shall come up no more. 

Job 7:10  He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place  know him any more. 

Job 7:11 Therefore I will not refrain my  mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will  complain in the bitterness of my soul. 

Job 7:12 Am I a sea,  or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me? 

Job 7:13 When  I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my  complaint; 

Job 7:14 Then thou scarest me with dreams, and  terrifiest me through visions: 

Job 7:15 So that my soul  chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life. 

Job 7:16  I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my  days are vanity. 

Job 7:17 What is man, that thou shouldest  magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon  him? 

Job 7:18 And that thou shouldest visit him every  morning, and try him every moment? 

Job 7:19 How long  wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow  down my spittle? 

Job 7:20 I have sinned; what shall I do unto  thee, O thou preserver of men? why hast thou set me as a  mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself? 

Job 7:21  And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take  away mine iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and  thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be. KJV
