Job 7:2-4
New International Version

2 Like a slave longing for the evening shadows,(A)
    or a hired laborer waiting to be paid,(B)
3 so I have been allotted months of futility,
    and nights of misery have been assigned to me.(C)
4 When I lie down I think, ‘How long before I get up?’(D)
    The night drags on, and I toss and turn until dawn.(E)

Job 7:2-4
King James Version

2 As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work:

3 So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.

4 When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.

Job 7:2-4
New King James Version

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 (A)months of futility,
And wearisome nights have been appointed to me.
4 (B)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.
