Job 7:1-3
English Standard Version

Job Continues: My Life Has No Hope

7 “Has not man (A)a hard service on earth,
    and are not his (B)days like the days of a hired hand?
2 Like a slave who longs for (C)the shadow,
    and like (D)a hired hand who looks for his (E)wages,
3 so I am allotted months of (F)emptiness,
    (G)and nights of misery are apportioned to me.

Job 7:1-3
New American Standard Bible

Job’s Life Seems Futile

7 “[a]Is a person not (A)forced to labor on earth,
And are his days not like the days of (B)a hired worker?
2 As a slave pants for the shade,
And as a hired worker who eagerly waits for his wages,
3 So I am allotted worthless months,
And (C)nights of trouble are apportioned to me.
