Job 7:1-5

New Century Version

7 “People have a hard task on earth,
    and their days are like those of a laborer.
² They are like a slave wishing for the evening shadows,
    like a laborer waiting to be paid.
³ But I am given months that are empty,
    and nights of misery have been given to me.
⁴ When I lie down, I think, ‘How long until I get up?’
    The night is long, and I toss until dawn.
⁵ My body is covered with worms and scabs,
    and my skin is broken and full of sores.
