New Testament

Job 7:6-16 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

6. My days pass more swiftly than a weaver’s shuttle;they come to an end without hope.

7. Remember that my life is but a breath.My eye will never again see anything good.

8. The eye of anyone who looks on mewill no longer see me.Your eyes will look for me, but I will be gone.

9. As a cloud fades away and vanishes,so the one who goes down to Sheol will never rise again.

10. He will never return to his house;his hometown will no longer remember him.

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 keep me under guard?

13. When I say: My bed will comfort me,and my couch will ease my complaint,

14. then You frighten me with dreams,and terrify me with visions,

15. so that I prefer strangling —death rather than life in this body.

16. I give up! I will not live forever.Leave me alone, for my days are a breath.
