Job 7:4
World English Bible (WEB)
When I lie down, I say, ‘When will I arise, and the night be gone?’ I toss and turn until the dawning of the day.
In context
2 As a servant who earnestly desires the shadow, as a hireling who looks for his wages,
3 so I am made to possess months of misery, wearisome nights are appointed to me.
4 When I lie down, I say, ‘When will I arise, and the night be gone?’ I toss and turn until the dawning of the day.
5 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust. My skin closes up, and breaks out afresh.
6 My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without hope.
