Top Verses Profile for Job 7:12  

5 My body is clothed with worms and scabs, my skin is broken and festering. 6 "My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and they come to an end without hope." 7 Remember, O God, that my life is but a breath; my eyes will never see happiness again. 8 The eye that now sees me will see me no longer; you will look for me, but I will be no more. 9 As a cloud vanishes and is gone, so those who go down to the grave do not return. 10 They will never come to their homes again; their places will know them no more. 11 "Therefore I will not keep silent; I will speak out in the anguish of my spirit, I will complain in the bitterness of my soul." 12 Am I the sea, or the monster of the deep, that you put me under guard? 13 When I think my bed will comfort me and my couch will ease my complaint 14 Even then you frighten me with dreams and terrify me with visions 15 So that I prefer strangling and death, rather than this body of mine. 16 I despise my life; I would not live forever. Let me alone; my days have no meaning. 17 "What are human beings that you make so much of them, that you give them so much attention," 18 That you examine them every morning and test them every moment? 19 Will you never look away from me, or let me alone even for an instant? (NIV)

5 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken and has become loathsome, and it closes up and breaks out afresh. 6 My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope. 7 Oh, remember that my life is but wind (a puff, a breath, a sob); my eye shall see good no more. 8 The eye of him who sees me shall see me no more; while your eyes are upon me, I shall be gone. 9 As the cloud is consumed and vanishes away, so he who goes down to Sheol (the place of the dead) shall come up no more. 10 He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more. 11 Therefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit, I will complain in the bitterness of my soul [O Lord]! 12 Am I the sea, or the sea monster, that You set a watch over me? 13 When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint 14 Then You scare me with dreams and terrify me through visions 15 So that I would choose strangling and death rather than these my bones. 16 I loathe my life; I would not live forever. Let me alone, for my days are a breath (futility). 17 What is man that You should magnify him and think him important? And that You should set Your mind upon him? [Ps. 8:4.] 18 And that You should visit him every morning and try him every moment? 19 How long will Your [plaguing] glance not look away from me, nor You let me alone till I swallow my spittle? (AMP)

5 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome. 6 My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope. 7 O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good. 8 The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not. 9 As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more. 10 He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more. 11 Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul. 12 Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me? 13 When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaints; 14 Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions: 15 So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life. 16 I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity. 17 What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him? 18 And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment? 19 How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle? (KJV)
