Job 7:3
| ← Job 7:2 | Job 7:3 (KJV) | Job 7:4 → |
|---|---|---|
As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for [the reward of] his work:
|
So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.
|
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.
