Job 7:2-4

The Voice

²     As slaves longing for shade,
        as workers pining for wages,
³     So I am destined to receive only months of meaninglessness,
        and nights of nothing but misery.
⁴     When I lie down at the end of day, I wonder,
        “How soon till morning so I can arise?”
    But the night stretches on,
        and I toss and turn until sunrise.
