New Testament

Job 7:6-16 Webster Bible Translation (WBT)

6. My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.

7. O remember that my life is wind: my eye will no more see good.

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

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

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

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 a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?

13. When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint;

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

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

16. I lothe it; I would not live always: let me alone; for my days are vanity.
