Job Capítulo 7

7 : 1 Is there not a warfare to man upon earth? And are not his days like the days of a hireling?

7 : 2 As a servant who earnestly desires the shadow, and as a hireling who looks for his wages,

7 : 3 so I am made to possess months of misery, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.

7 : 4 When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? And I am full of tossing to and fro to the dawning of the day.

7 : 5 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust. My skin closes up, and breaks out afresh.

7 : 6 My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.

7 : 7 O remember that my life is a breath. My eye shall no more see good.

7 : 8 The eye of him who sees me shall behold me no more. Thine eyes shall be upon me, but I shall not be.

7 : 9 As the cloud is consumed and vanishes away, so he who goes down to Sheol shall come up no more.

7 : 10 He shall return no more to his house, nor shall his place know him any more.

7 : 11 Therefore I will not refrain my mouth. I will speak in the anguish of my spirit. I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

7 : 12 Am I a sea, or a sea-monster, that thou set a watch over me?

7 : 13 When I say, My bed shall comfort me. My couch shall ease my complaint.

7 : 14 Then thou scare me with dreams, and terrify me through visions,

7 : 15 so that my soul chooses strangling and death rather than these my bones.

7 : 16 I loathe my life. I would not live always. Let me alone, for my days are vanity.

7 : 17 What is man, that thou should magnify him, and that thou should set thy mind upon him,

7 : 18 and that thou should visit him every morning, and try him every moment?

7 : 19 How long will thou not look away from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?

7 : 20 If I have sinned, what do I do to thee, O thou watcher of men? Why have thou set me as a mark for thee, so that I am a burden to myself?

7 : 21 And why do thou not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? For now I shall lie down in the dust, and thou will seek me diligently, but I shall not be.
