Job 7:1-4 New Century Version (NCV)

1. “People have a hard task on earth,and their days are like those of a laborer.

2. They are like a slave wishing for the evening shadows,like a laborer waiting to be paid.

3. But I am given months that are empty,and nights of misery have been given to me.

4. When I lie down, I think, ‘How long until I get up?’The night is long, and I toss until dawn.
