Job 7:6

Read in context

Job 7:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

6 My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle; they come to an end without hope.

7 Remember that my life is but a breath. My eyes will never again see happiness.

8 The eye that beholds me will no longer see me. You will look for me, but I will be no more.
