Job 7
New International Version
7 “Do not mortals have hard service(A) on earth?(B)
Are not their days like those of hired laborers?(C)
2 Like a slave longing for the evening shadows,(D)
or a hired laborer waiting to be paid,(E)
3 so I have been allotted months of futility,
and nights of misery have been assigned to me.(F)
4 When I lie down I think, ‘How long before I get up?’(G)
The night drags on, and I toss and turn until dawn.(H)
5 My body is clothed with worms(I) and scabs,
my skin is broken and festering.(J)
6 “My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle,(K)
and they come to an end without hope.(L)
7 Remember, O God, that my life is but a breath;(M)
my eyes will never see happiness again.(N)
8 The eye that now sees me will see me no longer;
you will look for me, but I will be no more.(O)
9 As a cloud vanishes(P) and is gone,
so one who goes down to the grave(Q) does not return.(R)
10 He will never come to his house again;
his place(S) will know him no more.(T)
11 “Therefore I will not keep silent;(U)
I will speak out in the anguish(V) of my spirit,
I will complain(W) in the bitterness of my soul.(X)
12 Am I the sea,(Y) or the monster of the deep,(Z)
that you put me under guard?(AA)
13 When I think my bed will comfort me
and my couch will ease my complaint,(AB)
14 even then you frighten me with dreams
and terrify(AC) me with visions,(AD)
15 so that I prefer strangling and death,(AE)
rather than this body of mine.(AF)
16 I despise my life;(AG) I would not live forever.(AH)
Let me alone;(AI) my days have no meaning.(AJ)
17 “What is mankind that you make so much of them,
that you give them so much attention,(AK)
18 that you examine them every morning(AL)
and test them(AM) every moment?(AN)
19 Will you never look away from me,(AO)
or let me alone even for an instant?(AP)
20 If I have sinned, what have I done to you,(AQ)
you who see everything we do?
Why have you made me your target?(AR)
Have I become a burden to you?[a](AS)
21 Why do you not pardon my offenses
and forgive my sins?(AT)
For I will soon lie down in the dust;(AU)
you will search for me, but I will be no more.”(AV)

约伯记 7
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
在世之劳苦
7 “人在世上岂无争战吗？他的日子不像雇工人的日子吗？ 2 像奴仆切慕黑影，像雇工人盼望工价， 3 我也照样经过困苦的日月，夜间的疲乏为我而定。 4 我躺卧的时候便说：‘我何时起来，黑夜就过去呢？’我尽是翻来覆去，直到天亮。 5 我的肉体以虫子和尘土为衣，我的皮肤才收了口又重新破裂。 6 我的日子比梭更快，都消耗在无指望之中。 7 求你想念我的生命不过是一口气！我的眼睛必不再见福乐。 8 观看我的人，他的眼必不再见我；你的眼目要看我，我却不在了。 9 云彩消散而过，照样，人下阴间也不再上来。 10 他不再回自己的家，故土也不再认识他。
诉神待之甚严
11 “我不禁止我口，我灵愁苦要发出言语，我心苦恼要吐露哀情。 12 我对神说：我岂是洋海，岂是大鱼，你竟防守我呢？ 13 若说我的床必安慰我，我的榻必解释我的苦情， 14 你就用梦惊骇我，用异象恐吓我。 15 甚至我宁肯噎死，宁肯死亡，胜似留我这一身的骨头。 16 我厌弃性命，不愿永活。你任凭我吧！因我的日子都是虚空。 17 人算什么，你竟看他为大，将他放在心上， 18 每早鉴察他，时刻试验他？ 19 你到何时才转眼不看我，才任凭我咽下唾沫呢？ 20 鉴察人的主啊，我若有罪，于你何妨？为何以我当你的箭靶子，使我厌弃自己的性命？ 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，你要殷勤地寻找我，我却不在了。”

New King James Version
Job: My Suffering Is Comfortless
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.
6 “My(E) days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle,
And are spent without hope.
7 Oh, remember that (F)my life is a breath!
My eye will never again see good.
8 (G)The eye of him who sees me will see me no more;
While your eyes are upon me, I shall no longer be.
9 As the cloud disappears and vanishes away,
So (H)he who goes down to the grave does not come up.
10 He shall never return to his house,
(I)Nor shall his place know him anymore.
11 “Therefore I will (J)not restrain my mouth;
I will speak in the anguish of my spirit;
I will (K)complain in the bitterness of my soul.
12 Am I a sea, or a sea serpent,
That You set a guard over me?
13 (L)When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me,
My couch will ease my complaint,’
14 Then You scare me with dreams
And terrify me with visions,
15 So that my soul chooses strangling
And death rather than [b]my body.
16 (M)I loathe my life;
I would not live forever.
(N)Let me alone,
For (O)my days are but [c]a breath.
17 “What(P) is man, that You should exalt him,
That You should set Your heart on him,
18 That You should [d]visit him every morning,
And test him every moment?
19 How long?
Will You not look away from me,
And let me alone till I swallow my saliva?
20 Have I sinned?
What have I done to You, (Q)O watcher of men?
Why (R)have You set me as Your target,
So that I am a burden [e]to myself?
21 Why then do You not pardon my transgression,
And take away my iniquity?
For now I will lie down in the dust,
And You will seek me diligently,
But I will no longer be.”

Iov deznădăjduit
7 Soarta omului pe pământ este ca a unui ostaş(A)
şi zilele lui sunt ca ale unui muncitor cu ziua.
2 Cum suspină robul după umbră,
cum îşi aşteaptă muncitorul plata,
3 aşa am eu parte de luni de durere(B),
şi partea mea sunt nopţi de suferinţă.
4 Mă culc şi zic:
‘Când mă voi scula(C)?
Când se va sfârşi noaptea?’
Şi mă satur de frământări până în revărsatul zorilor.
5 Trupul mi se acoperă(D) cu viermi şi cu o coajă pământoasă,
pielea-mi crapă şi se desface.
6 Zilele mele(E) zboară mai iuţi decât suveica ţesătorului,
se duc şi nu mai am nicio nădejde!
7 Adu-Ţi aminte, Dumnezeule, că viaţa mea(F) este doar o suflare!
Ochii mei nu vor mai vedea fericirea.
8 Ochiul(G) care mă priveşte nu mă va mai privi;
ochiul tău mă va căuta şi nu voi mai fi.
9 Cum se risipeşte norul şi trece,
aşa nu se va mai ridica cel ce se(H) pogoară în Locuinţa morţilor!
10 Nu se va mai întoarce în casa lui
şi nu-şi va mai cunoaşte locul(I) în care locuia.
11 De aceea nu-mi(J) voi ţine gura,
ci voi vorbi în neliniştea inimii mele,
mă voi tângui în amărăciunea sufletului meu.
12 Oare o mare sunt eu sau un balaur de mare,
de-ai pus strajă în jurul meu?
13 Când(K) zic: ‘Patul mă va uşura,
culcuşul îmi va alina durerile’,
14 atunci mă înspăimânţi prin vise,
mă îngrozeşti prin vedenii.
15 Ah, aş vrea mai bine gâtuirea,
mai bine moartea decât aceste oase!
16 Le dispreţuiesc(L)!… Nu voi trăi în veci…
Lasă-mă(M), căci doar o suflare mi-i viaţa(N)!
17 Ce este(O) omul ca să-Ţi pese atât de mult de el,
ca să iei seama la el,
18 să-l cercetezi în toate dimineţile
şi să-l încerci în toate clipele?
19 Când vei înceta odată să mă priveşti?
Când îmi vei da răgaz să-mi înghit scuipatul?
20 Dacă am păcătuit, ce pot să-Ţi fac, Păzitorul(P) oamenilor?
Pentru ce m-ai pus(Q) ţintă săgeţilor Tale,
de am ajuns o povară chiar pentru mine însumi?
21 Pentru ce nu-mi ierţi păcatul
şi pentru ce nu-mi uiţi fărădelegea?
Căci voi adormi în ţărână
şi, când mă vei căuta, nu voi mai fi!”
