Job 7:1-5

New King James Version

7 “Is there not ^(A)a time of hard service for man on earth?
Are not his days also like the days of a hired man?
² Like a servant who ^[a]earnestly desires the shade,
And like a hired man who eagerly looks for his wages,
³ So I have been allotted ^(B)months of futility,
And wearisome nights have been appointed to me.
^4 (C)When I lie down, I say, ‘When shall I arise,
And the night be ended?’
For I have had my fill of tossing till dawn.
⁵ My flesh is ^(D)caked with worms and dust,
My skin is cracked and breaks out afresh.
