40 This was my situation: The heat consumed me in the daytime and the cold at night, and sleep fled from my eyes.

40 Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes.

40 “I worked for you through the scorching heat of the day and through cold and sleepless nights.

40 There I was! In the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night, and my sleep departed from my eyes.

40 In the daytime the sun took away my strength, and at night I was cold and could not sleep.

40 Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from mine eyes.

40 Thus it was with me: in the day the heat consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from mine eyes.

40 The scorching heat during the day and the cold at night wore me down, and I lost a lot of sleep.

40 There I was—the heat consumed me by day and the frost by night, and sleep fled from my eyes.

40 It was like this with me: by day the heat consumed me, and the cold by night, and my sleep fled from my eyes.

40 There I was, during the day the heat consumed me, and the cold by night, and my sleep fled from my eyes.

40 “And what was my life like? The heat burned me in the daytime. And it was so cold at night that I froze. I couldn’t sleep.

40 “Thus I was: by day the heat consumed me and the frost by night, and my sleep fled from my eyes.
