Job 7:2-12 Good News Bible Catholic Edition (GNBDK)

2. like slaves longing for cool shade;like workers waiting for their pay.

3. Month after month I have nothing to live for;night after night brings me grief.

4. When I lie down to sleep, the hours drag;I toss all night and long for dawn.

5. My body is full of worms;it is covered with scabs;pus runs out of my sores.

6. My days pass by without hope,pass faster than a weaver's shuttle.

7. Remember, O God, my life is only a breath;my happiness has already ended.

8. You see me now, but never again.If you look for me, I'll be gone.

11. No! I can't be quiet!I am angry and bitter.I have to speak.

12. Why do you keep me under guard?Do you think I am a sea monster?
