Job 7:3-5

EasyEnglish Bible

³But there is nothing for me to wait for.
    I wait for many months and nothing happens.
    Every night, I am always sad.
⁴When I lie down at night to sleep,
    I think, “How soon will the night end?”
But the night continues and I cannot sleep.
    Finally, dawn comes.
⁵There are worms all over my body.
    All of my skin is painful.
    There are dirty sores all over it.
