Job 7
1<add>Is there</add> not an appointed time to man upon earth? <add>are not</add> his days also like the days of an hireling?2As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for <add>the reward of</add> his work:3So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.4When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.5My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome.6My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without hope.7O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good.8The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no <add>more:</add> thine eyes <add>are</add> upon me, and I <add>am</add> not.9<add>As</add> the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no <add>more</add>.10He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.11Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.12<add>Am</add> I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?13When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint;14Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions:15So that my soul chooseth strangling, <add>and</add> death rather than my life.16I loathe <add>it;</add> I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days <add>are</add> vanity.17What <add>is</add> man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him?18And <add>that</add> thou shouldest visit him every morning, <add>and</add> try him every moment?19How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?20I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself?21And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I <add>shall</add> not <add>be</add>.
