Jubilee Bible

Job 7:1-7 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

1. Man certainly has an appointed amount of time upon earth, and his days are like the days of a hireling.

2. As a slave earnestly desires the shade and as a hireling waits for rest from his work,

3. so I am made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.

4. When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise? I measure the night, and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.

5. My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken and abominable.

6. My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle and are spent without hope.

7. Remember thou that my life is wind and that my eyes shall not return to see good.
