Job 7:4 Context
2As a seruant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his worke: 3So am I made to possesse moneths of vanitie, and wearisome nights are appointed to me. 4When I lie downe, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro, vnto the dawning of the day. 5My flesh is cloathed with wormes and clods of dust, my skinne is broken, and become loathsome. 6My dayes are swifter then a weauers shuttle, and are spent without hope.
