Job Continues: My Life Has No Hope

7 “Has not man ra hard service on earth,

and are not his sdays like the days of a hired hand?

2 Like a slave who longs for tthe shadow,

and like ua hired hand who looks for his vwages,

3 so I am allotted months of wemptiness,

xand nights of misery are apportioned to me.

4 yWhen I lie down I say, ‘When shall I arise?’

But the night is long,

and I am full of tossing till the dawn.

5 My flesh is clothed with zworms and adirt;

my skin hardens, then bbreaks out afresh.
