## đ Scripture Text (NET)
(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
### The Brevity of Life
[[#Verse 01.]] âDoes not humanity have hard service on earth?
Are not their days also like the days of a hired man?
[[#Verse 02.]] Like a servant longing for the evening shadow,
and like a hired man looking for his wages,
[[#Verse 03.]] thus I have been made to inherit
months of futility,
and nights of sorrow
have been appointed to me.
[[#Verse 04.]] If I lie down, I say, âWhen will I arise?â
And the night stretches on
and I toss and turn restlessly
until the day dawns.
[[#Verse 05.]] My body is clothed with worms and dirty scabs;
my skin is broken and festering.
[[#Verse 06.]] My days are swifter than a weaverâs shuttle
and they come to an end without hope.
[[#Verse 07.]] Remember that my life is but a breath,
that my eyes will never again see happiness.
[[#Verse 08.]]Â The eye of him who sees me now will see me no more;
your eyes will look for me, but I will be gone.
[[#Verse 09.]] As a cloud is dispersed and then disappears,
so the one who goes down to the grave
does not come up again.
[[#Verse 10.]]Â He returns no more to his house,
nor does his place of residence know him anymore.
### Job Remonstrates with God
[[#Verse 11.]] âTherefore, I will not refrain my mouth;
I will speak in the anguish of my spirit;
I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
[[#Verse 12.]]Â Am I the sea, or the creature of the deep,
that you must put me under guard?
[[#Verse 13.]] If I say, âMy bed will comfort me,
my couch will ease my complaint,â
[[#Verse 14.]] then you scare me with dreams
and terrify me with visions,
[[#Verse 15.]] so that I would prefer strangling,
and death more than life.
[[#Verse 16.]] I loathe it; I do not want to live forever;
leave me alone, for my days are a vapor!
### Insignificance of Humans
[[#Verse 17.]] âWhat is mankind that you make so much of them,
and that you pay attention to them?
[[#Verse 18.]] And that you visit them every morning,
and try them every moment?
[[#Verse 19.]] Will you never look away from me,
will you not let me alone
long enough to swallow my spittle?
[[#Verse 20.]] If I have sinnedâwhat have I done to you,
O watcher of men?
Why have you set me as your target?
Have I become a burden to you?
[[#Verse 21.]]Â And why do you not pardon my transgression,
and take away my iniquity?
For now I will lie down in the dust,
and you will seek me diligently,
but I will be gone.â
