New Testament

Job 7:5-12 English Standard Version (ESV)

5. My flesh is clothed with worms and dirt;my skin hardens, then breaks out afresh.

6. My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttleand come to their end without hope.

7. “Remember that my life is a breath;my eye will never again see good.

8. The eye of him who sees me will behold me no more;while your eyes are on me, I shall be gone.

9. As the cloud fades and vanishes,so he who goes down to Sheol does not come up;

10. he returns no more to his house,nor does his place know him anymore.

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. Am I the sea, or a sea monster,that you set a guard over me?
