Job 7:1-3
Contemporary English Version

Job Continues

Why Is Life So Hard?

7 Why is life so hard?
    Why do we suffer?
2 We are slaves in search of shade;
we are laborers longing
    for our wages.
3 God has made my days drag on
    and my nights miserable.

Job 7:1-3
New International Version

7 “Do not mortals have hard service(A) on earth?(B)
    Are not their days like those of hired laborers?(C)
2 Like a slave longing for the evening shadows,(D)
    or a hired laborer waiting to be paid,(E)
3 so I have been allotted months of futility,
    and nights of misery have been assigned to me.(F)
