7:1 [Is there] not an appointed time 6635 to man 582 upon earth 776? [are not] his days 3117 also like the days 3117 of an hireling 7916?(an appointed…: or, a warfare)

7:2 As a servant 5650 earnestly desireth 7602 8799 the shadow 6738, and as an hireling 7916 looketh 6960 8762 for [the reward of] his work 6467:(earnestly…: Heb. gapeth after)

7:3 So am I made to possess 5157 8717 months 3391 of vanity 7723, and wearisome 5999 nights 3915 are appointed 4487 8765 to me.

7:4 When I lie down 7901 8804, I say 559 8804, When shall I arise 6965 8799, and the night 6153 be gone 4059? and I am full 7646 8804 of tossings to and fro 5076 unto the dawning of the day 5399.(the night…: Heb. the evening be measured?)

7:5 My flesh 1320 is clothed 3847 8804 with worms 7415 and clods 1487 of dust 6083; my skin 5785 is broken 7280 8804, and become loathsome 3988 8735.

7:6 My days 3117 are swifter 7043 8804 than a weaver's shuttle 708, and are spent 3615 8799 without 657 hope 8615.

7:7 O remember 2142 8798 that my life 2416 [is] wind 7307: mine eye 5869 shall no more 7725 8799 see 7200 8800 good 2896.(shall…: Heb. shall not return)(see: to see, that is, to enjoy)

7:8 The eye 5869 of him that hath seen 7210 me shall see 7789 8799 me no [more]: thine eyes 5869 [are] upon me, and I [am] not.(I am…: that is, I can live no longer)

7:9 [As] the cloud 6051 is consumed 3615 8804 and vanisheth away 3212 8799: so he that goeth down 3381 8802 to the grave 7585 shall come up 5927 8799 no [more].

7:10 He shall return 7725 8799 no more to his house 1004, neither shall his place 4725 know 5234 8686 him any more.

7:11 Therefore I will not refrain 2820 8799 my mouth 6310; I will speak 1696 8762 in the anguish 6862 of my spirit 7307; I will complain 7878 8799 in the bitterness 4751 of my soul 5315.

7:12 [Am] I a sea 3220, or a whale 8577, that thou settest 7760 8799 a watch 4929 over me?

7:13 When I say 559 8804, My bed 6210 shall comfort 5162 8762 me, my couch 4904 shall ease 5375 8799 my complaint 7879;

7:14 Then thou scarest 2865 8765 me with dreams 2472, and terrifiest 1204 8762 me through visions 2384:

7:15 So that my soul 5315 chooseth 977 8799 strangling 4267, [and] death 4194 rather than my life 6106.(life: Heb. bones)

7:16 I loathe 3988 8804 [it]; I would not live 2421 8799 alway 5769: let me alone 2308 8798; for my days 3117 [are] vanity 1892.

7:17 What [is] man 582, that thou shouldest magnify 1431 8762 him? and that thou shouldest set 7896 8799 thine heart 3820 upon him?

7:18 And [that] thou shouldest visit 6485 8799 him every morning 1242, [and] try 974 8799 him every moment 7281?

7:19 How long 4100 wilt thou not depart 8159 8799 from me, nor let me alone 7503 8686 till I swallow down 1104 8800 my spittle 7536?

7:20 I have sinned 2398 8804; what shall I do 6466 8799 unto thee, O thou preserver 5341 8802 of men 120? why hast thou set 7760 8804 me as a mark 4645 against thee, so that I am a burden 4853 to myself?
