New Testament

Job 7:16-21 New Century Version (NCV)

16. I hate my life; I don’t want to live forever.Leave me alone, because my days have no meaning.

17. “Why do you make people so importantand give them so much attention?

18. You examine them every morningand test them every moment.

19. Will you never look away from meor leave me alone even long enough to swallow?

20. If I have sinned, what have I done to you,you watcher of humans?Why have you made me your target?Have I become a heavy load for you?

21. Why don’t you pardon my wrongsand forgive my sins?I will soon lie down in the dust of death.Then you will search for me, but I will be no more.”
