| 7:1 | Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling? |
| 7:2 | As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work: |
| 7:3 | So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me. |
| 7:4 | When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day. |
| 7:5 | My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome. |
| 7:6 | My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope. |
| 7:7 | O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good. |
| 7:8 | The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not. |
| 7:9 | As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more. |
| 7:10 | He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more. |
| 7:11 | Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul. |
| 7:12 | Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me? |
| 7:13 | When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint; |
| 7:14 | Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions: |
| 7:15 | So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life. |
| 7:16 | I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity. |
| 7:17 | What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him? |
| 7:18 | And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment? |
| 7:19 | How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle? |
| 7:20 | I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself? |
| 7:21 | And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be. |
| 7:21 | 為何不赦免我的過犯、除掉我的罪孽。我現今要躺臥在塵土中．你要殷勤的尋找我、我卻不在了。 |
| 7:21 | 为何不赦免我的过犯，除掉我的罪孽。我现今要躺卧在尘土中。你要殷勤地寻梢我，我却不在了。 |
| dan:12:2 | And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. |
| job:8:5 | If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty; |
| pro:1:28 | Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: |
| job:7:8 | The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not. |
