Job 7:3

Read in context

Job 7:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible

1 “Is not man consigned to labor on earth? Are not his days like those of a hired hand?

2 Like a slave he longs for shade; like a hireling he waits for his wages.

3 So I am allotted months of futility, and nights of misery are appointed me.

4 When I lie down I think: ‘When will I get up?’ But the night drags on, and I toss and turn until dawn.

5 My flesh is clothed with worms and encrusted with dirt; my skin is cracked and festering.
