Job 7:18–20

18 that you examine them every morning

and test them every moment?

19 Will you never look away from me,

or let me alone even for an instant?

20 If I have sinned, what have I done to you,

you who sees everything we do?

Why have you made me your target?

Have I become a burden to you?

18 And that thou shouldest visit him every morning,

And try him every moment?

19 How long wilt thou not depart from me,

Nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?

20 I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee,

O thou preserver of men?

Why hast thou set me as a mark against thee,

So that I am a burden to myself?

18 For you examine us every morning

and test us every moment.

19 Why won’t you leave me alone,

at least long enough for me to swallow!

20 If I have sinned, what have I done to you,

O watcher of all humanity?

Why make me your target?

Am I a burden to you?

18 That You should visit him every morning,

And test him every moment?

19 How long?

Will You not look away from me,

And let me alone till I swallow my saliva?

20 Have I sinned?

What have I done to You, O watcher of men?

Why have You set me as Your target,

So that I am a burden to myself?

18 You examine them every morning

and test them every moment.

19 Will you never look away from me

or leave me alone even long enough to swallow?

20 If I have sinned, what have I done to you,

you watcher of humans?

Why have you made me your target?

Have I become a heavy load for you?

18 And that thou shouldest visit him every morning,

And try him every moment?

19 How long wilt thou not look away from me,

Nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?

20 If I have sinned, what do I unto thee, O thou watcher of men?

Why hast thou set me as a mark for thee,

So that I am a burden to myself?

18 And that thou visitest him every morning, triest him every moment? 19 How long wilt thou not look away from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle? 20 Have I sinned, what do I unto thee, thou Observer of men? Why hast thou set me as an object of assault for thee, so that I am become a burden to myself?

18 ⸤What is he⸥ that you should inspect him every morning 

and examine him every moment? 

19 Why don’t you stop looking at me 

long enough to let me swallow my spit? 

20 If I sin, what can I ⸤possibly⸥ do to you 

since you insist on spying on people? 

Why do you make me your target? 

I’ve become a burden even to myself. 

18 You inspect him every morning,

and put him to the test every moment.

19 Will You ever look away from me,

or leave me alone long enough to swallow?

20 If I have sinned, what have I done to You,

Watcher of mankind?

Why have You made me Your target,

so that I have become a burden to You?

18 visit them every morning,

test them every moment?

19 Will you not look away from me for a while,

let me alone until I swallow my spittle?

20 If I sin, what do I do to you, you watcher of humanity?

Why have you made me your target?

Why have I become a burden to you?

18 so that you visit him every morning,

you test him every moment?

19 How long will you not turn away from me?

Or not leave me alone until I swallow my spit?

20 If I have sinned, what have I done to you, watcher of humanity?

Why have you made me as a target for yourself,

so that I have become a burden to myself?

18 You check up on them every morning.

You put them to the test every moment.

19 Won’t you ever look away from me?

Won’t you leave me alone even for one second?

20 If I’ve really sinned, tell me what I’ve done to you.

Why do you watch people so closely?

Why do you shoot your arrows at me?

Have I become a problem to you?

18 That You examine him every morning

And try him every moment?

19 “Will You never turn Your gaze away from me,

Nor let me alone until I swallow my spittle?

20 “Have I sinned? What have I done to You,

O watcher of men?

Why have You set me as Your target,

So that I am a burden to myself?
