Job 7:2

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

Like a slave he longs for shade; like a hireling he waits for his wages.

In context

1 “Is not man consigned to labor on earth? Are not his days like those of a hired hand?

2 Like a slave he longs for shade; like a hireling he waits for his wages.

3 So I am allotted months of futility, and nights of misery are appointed me.

4 When I lie down I think: ‘When will I get up?’ But the night drags on, and I toss and turn until dawn.
