Job 7:2-4

GOD’S WORD Translation

² Like a slave, he longs for shade.
Like a hired hand, he eagerly looks for his pay.
³ Likewise, I have been given months that are of no use,
and I have inherited nights filled with misery.
⁴ When I lie down, I ask,
‘When will I get up?’
But the evening is long,
and I’m exhausted from tossing about until dawn.
