NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Job 7

Job's Life Seems Futile

1

1Is not manh582  aforcedh6635 to laborh6635 on earthh776, And are not his daysh3117 like the daysh3117 of  ba hiredh7916 manh7916?

2

"As a slaveh5650 who pantsh7602a for the shadeh6738, And as a hiredh7916 manh7916 who eagerlyh6960a waitsh6960a for his wagesh6467,

3

Soh3651 am I allottedh5157 monthsh3391 of vanityh7723, And  anightsh3915 of troubleh5999 are appointedh4487 me.

4

"Whenh518 I  alieh7901 downh7901 I sayh559, `Whenh4970 shall I ariseh6965?' But the nighth6153 continuesh4058, And I am  1continuallyh7646 tossingh5076 untilh5704 dawnh5399.

5

"My  afleshh1320 is clothedh3847 with wormsh7415 and a crusth1487 of dirth6083, My skinh5785 hardensh7280c and runsh3988b.

6

"My daysh3117 are  aswifterh7043 thanh4480 a weaver'sh708 shuttleh708, And comeh3615 to an endh3615  bwithouth657 hopeh8615b.

7

"Rememberh2142 that my lifeh2425b  ais but breathh7307; My eyeh5869 will  bnot againh7725 seeh7200 goodh2896b.

8

"The  aeyeh5869 of him who seesh7210 me will beholdh7789 me noh3808 longer; Your eyesh5869 will be on me, but  bI will not be.

9

"When a  acloudh6051 vanishesh3615, it is goneh1980, Soh3651  bhe who goesh3381 downh3381 to  cSheolh7585 does not comeh5927 up.

10

"He will not returnh7725 againh5750 to his househ1004, Norh3808 will  ahis placeh4725 knowh5234 him anymoreh5750.

11

"Thereforeh1571  aI will not restrainh2820 my mouthh6310; I will speakh1696 in the anguishh6862b of my spirith7307, I will complainh7878 in the bitternessh4751 of my soulh5315.

12

"Am I the seah3220, orh518  athe seah8577 monsterh8577, That You seth7760 a guardh4929 overh5921 me?

13

"Ifh3588 I sayh559, ` aMy bedh6210 will comforth5162 me, My couchh4904 will  1easeh5375 my complainth7879,'

14

Then You frightenh2865 me with dreamsh2472 And terrifyh1204 me by visionsh2384;

15

So that my soulh5315 would chooseh977 suffocationh4267, Deathh4194 ratherh4480 thanh4480 my  1painsh6106.

16

"I  1 awasteh3988a awayh3988a; I will not liveh2421a foreverh5769. Leaveh2308 me aloneh4480,  bfor my daysh3117 are but a breathh1892.

17

aWhath4100 is manh582 that You magnifyh1431 him, And that You  1are concernedh7896h3820 abouth413 him,

18

That  aYou examineh6485 him every morningh1242 And tryh974 him every momenth7281?

19

1 aWill You neverh3808 turnh8159 Your gazeh8159 away from me, Norh3808 leth7503 me aloneh7503 untilh5704 I swallowh1104 my spittleh7536?

20

aHave I sinnedh2398? Whath4100 have I doneh6466 to You, O  bwatcherh5341 of menh120? Whyh4100 have You seth7760 me as Your targeth4645, So that I amh1961 a burdenh4853a to myself?

21

"Whyh4100 then  ado You not pardonh5375 my transgressionh6588 And takeh5674a awayh5674a my iniquityh5771? For nowh6258 I will  blieh7901 downh7901 in the dusth6083; And You will seekh7836 me,  cbut I will not be."
