Job 7:1-6 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

1. “Man has a hard task on earth.His days are like those of a hired man.

2. Man is like a slave wishing for the evening shadows.Or he is like a hired man who wants his pay.

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

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

5. My body is covered with worms and scabs.My skin is broken and full of running sores.

6. “My days go by faster than a weaver moves his tool.And they come to an end without hope.
