# Chapter 7
|
|
1. "Is not all human life a struggle?
|
|
Our lives are like that of a hired hand,
|
|
|
|
2. like a worker who longs for the shade,
|
|
like a servant waiting to be paid.
|
|
|
|
3. I, too, have been assigned months of futility,
|
|
long and weary nights of misery.
|
|
|
|
4. Lying in bed, I think, 'When will it be morning?'
|
|
But the night drags on, and I toss till dawn.
|
|
|
|
5. My body is covered with maggots and scabs.
|
|
My skin breaks open, oozing with pus.Job Cries Out to God
|
|
|
|
6. "My days fly faster than a weaver's shuttle.
|
|
They end without hope.
|
|
|
|
7. O God, remember that my life is but a breath,
|
|
and I will never again feel happiness.
|
|
|
|
8. You see me now, but not for long.
|
|
You will look for me, but I will be gone.
|
|
|
|
9. Just as a cloud dissipates and vanishes,
|
|
those who die will not come back.
|
|
|
|
10. They are gone forever from their home--
|
|
never to be seen again.
|
|
|
|
11. "I cannot keep from speaking.
|
|
I must express my anguish.
|
|
My bitter soul must complain.
|
|
|
|
12. Am I a sea monster or a dragon
|
|
that you must place me under guard?
|
|
|
|
13. I think, 'My bed will comfort me,
|
|
and sleep will ease my misery,'
|
|
|
|
14. but then you shatter me with dreams
|
|
and terrify me with visions.
|
|
|
|
15. I would rather be strangled--
|
|
rather die than suffer like this.
|
|
|
|
16. I hate my life and don't want to go on living.
|
|
Oh, leave me alone for my few remaining days.
|
|
|
|
17. "What are people, that you should make so much of us,
|
|
that you should think of us so often?
|
|
|
|
18. For you examine us every morning
|
|
and test us every moment.
|
|
|
|
19. Why won't you leave me alone,
|
|
at least long enough for me to swallow!
|
|
|
|
20. If I have sinned, what have I done to you,
|
|
O watcher of all humanity?
|
|
Why make me your target?
|
|
Am I a burden to you?
|
|
|
|
21. Why not just forgive my sin
|
|
and take away my guilt?
|
|
For soon I will lie down in the dust and die.
|
|
When you look for me, I will be gone."
