Iob 7

1 Job excuseth his desire of death. 12 He complaineth of his own restlessness, 17 and God's watchfulness.

 7:1 ¶ [Is there] not x3808 an appointed time 6635 to man 582 vpon x5921 earth? 776 [are] not his dayes 3117 also like the dayes 3117 of an hireling? 7916

 7:2 As a seruant 5650 earnestly desireth 7602 z8799 the shadow, 6738 and as an hireling 7916 looketh y6960 z8762 for x6960 [the reward] of his worke: 6467

 7:3 So x3651 am I made to possesse 5157 z8717 moneths 3391 of vanitie, 7723 and wearisome 5999 nights 3915 are appointed 4487 z8765 to me.

 7:4 When x518 I lie downe, 7901 z8804 I say, 559 z8804 When x4970 shall I arise, 6965 z8799 and the night 6153 be gone? 4059 and I am full 7646 z8804 of tossings to and fro, 5076 vnto x5704 the dawning of the day. 5399

 7:5 My flesh 1320 is cloathed 3847 z8804 with wormes 7415 and clods 1487 of dust, 6083 my skinne 5785 is broken, 7280 z8804 and become loathsome. 3988 z8735

 7:6 My dayes 3117 are swifter 7043 z8804 then x4480 a weauers shuttle, 708 and are spent 3615 z8799 without 657 hope. 8615

 7:7 O remember 2142 z8798 that x3588 my life 2416 is winde: 7307 mine eye 5869 shall no x3808 more 7725 z8799 see 7200 z8800 good. 2896

 7:8 The eye 5869 of him that hath seene 7210 me, shall see 7789 z8799 mee no x3808 [more]: thine eyes 5869 [are] vpon me, and I [am] not. x369

 7:9 [As] the cloud 6051 is consumed 3615 z8804 and vanisheth away: y3212 z8799 x1980 so x3651 he that goeth downe 3381 z8802 to the graue, 7585 shall come vp 5927 z8799 no x3808 [more].

 7:10 Hee shall returne 7725 z8799 no x3808 more x5750 to his house: 1004 neither x3808 shall his place 4725 know 5234 z8686 him any more. x5750

 7:11 Therefore x1571 I x589 will not x3808 refraine 2820 z8799 my mouth, 6310 I wil speake 1696 z8762 in the anguish 6862 of my spirit, 7307 I will complaine 7878 z8799 in the bitternesse 4751 of my soule. 5315

 7:12 Am I x589 a sea, 3220 or x518 a whale, 8577 that x3588 thou settest 7760 z8799 a watch 4929 ouer x5921 me?

 7:13 When x3588 I say, 559 z8804 My bed 6210 shal comfort 5162 z8762 me, my couch 4904 shall ease 5375 z8799 my complaint: 7879

 7:14 Then thou skarest 2865 z8765 mee with dreames, 2472 and terrifiest 1204 z8762 me through visions. 2384 x4480

 7:15 So that my soule 5315 chooseth 977 z8799 strangling: 4267 [and] death 4194 rather then my life. 6106 x4480

 7:16 I loath 3988 z8804 [it], I would not x3808 liue 2421 z8799 alway: 5769 let me alone, 2308 z8798 x4480 for x3588 my dayes 3117 [are] vanitie. 1892

 7:17 What x4100 [is] man, 582 that x3588 thou shouldest magnifie 1431 z8762 him? and that x3588 thou shouldest set 7896 z8799 thine heart 3820 vpon x413 him?

 7:18 And [that] thou shouldest visite 6485 z8799 him euery morning, 1242 [and] trie 974 z8799 him euery moment? 7281

 7:19 How long 4100 wilt thou not x3808 depart 8159 z8799 from x4480 me? nor x3808 let me alone 7503 z8686 till x5704 I swallow downe 1104 z8800 my spittle? 7536

 7:20 I haue sinned, 2398 z8804 what x4100 shall I doe 6466 z8799 vnto thee, O thou preseruer 5341 z8802 of men? 120 why x4100 hast thou set 7760 z8804 me as a mark 4645 against thee, so that I am x1861 a burden 4853 to x5921 my selfe?

 7:21 And why x4100 doest thou not x3808 pardon 5375 z8799 my transgression, 6588 and take away 5674 z8686 x853 mine iniquitie? 5771 for x3588 now x6258 shall I sleepe 7901 z8799 in the dust, 6083 and thou shalt seeke me in the morning, 7836 z8765 but I shall not x369 be.
