Red-Letter King James Bible 1769 Edition (KJV)

Job 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 upon x5921 earth? 776 [are not] his days 3117 also like the days 3117 of an hireling? 7916

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

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

 7:4 When x518 I lie down, 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 unto x5704 the dawning of the day. 5399

 7:5 My flesh 1320 is clothed 3847 z8804 with worms 7415 and clods 1487 of dust; 6083 my skin 5785 is broken, 7280 z8804 and become loathsome. 3988 z8735

 7:6 My days 3117 are swifter 7043 z8804 than x4480 a weaver's shuttle, 708 and are spent 3615 z8799 without 657 hope. 8615

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

 7:8 The eye 5869 of him that hath seen 7210 me shall see 7789 z8799 me no x3808 [more]: thine eyes 5869 [are] upon 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 down 3381 z8802 to the grave 7585 shall come up 5927 z8799 no x3808 [more].

 7:10 He shall return 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 refrain 2820 z8799 my mouth; 6310 I will speak 1696 z8762 in the anguish 6862 of my spirit; 7307 I will complain 7878 z8799 in the bitterness 4751 of my soul. 5315

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

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

 7:14 Then thou scarest 2865 z8765 me with dreams, 2472 and terrifiest 1204 z8762 me through visions: 2384 x4480

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

 7:16 I loathe 3988 z8804 [it]; I would not x3808 live 2421 z8799 alway: 5769 let me alone; 2308 z8798 x4480 for x3588 my days 3117 [are] vanity. 1892

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

 7:18 And [that] thou shouldest visit 6485 z8799 him every morning, 1242 [and] try 974 z8799 him every 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 down 1104 z8800 my spittle? 7536

 7:20 I have sinned; 2398 z8804 what x4100 shall I do 6466 z8799 unto thee, O thou preserver 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 myself?

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