Job 7:2-4
New King James Version
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 (A)months of futility,
And wearisome nights have been appointed to me.
4 (B)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.

But the night is long,
and I toss and turn till the dawn.
