Job 7:6–8

6 “My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle,

and they come to an end without hope.

7 Remember, O God, that my life is but a breath;

my eyes will never see happiness again.

8 The eye that now sees me will see me no longer;

you will look for me, but I will be no more.

6 My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle,

And are spent without hope.

7 O remember that my life is wind:

Mine eye shall no more see good.

8 The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more:

Thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.

6 “My days fly faster than a weaver’s shuttle.

They end without hope.

7 O God, remember that my life is but a breath,

and I will never again feel happiness.

8 You see me now, but not for long.

You will look for me, but I will be gone.

6 “My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle,

And are spent without hope.

7 Oh, remember that my life is a breath!

My eye will never again see good.

8 The eye of him who sees me will see me no more;

While your eyes are upon me, I shall no longer be.

6 “My days go by faster than a weaver’s tool,

and they come to an end without hope.

7 Remember, God, that my life is only a breath.

My eyes will never see happy times again.

8 Those who see me now will see me no more;

you will look for me, but I will be gone.

6 My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle,

And are spent without hope.

7 Oh remember that my life is a breath:

Mine eye shall no more see good.

8 The eye of him that seeth me shall behold me no more;

Thine eyes shall be upon me, but I shall not be.

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

7 Remember thou that my life is wind; mine eye shall no more see good. 8 The eye of him that hath seen me shall behold me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.

6 My days go swifter than a weaver’s shuttle. 

They are spent without hope. 

7 Remember, my life is only a breath, 

and never again will my eyes see anything good. 

8 The eye that watches over me will no longer see me. 

Your eye will look for me, but I’ll be gone. 

6 My days pass more swiftly than a weaver’s shuttle;

they come to an end without hope.

7 Remember that my life is but a breath.

My eye will never again see anything good.

8 The eye of anyone who looks on me

will no longer see me.

Your eyes will look for me, but I will be gone.

6 My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle

and come to their end without hope.

7 “Remember that my life is a breath;

my eye will never again see good.

8 The eye that beholds me will see me no more;

while your eyes are upon me, I shall be gone.

6 “My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle,

and they come to an end without hope.

7 Remember that my life is a breath;

my eye will not return to see good.

8 The eye of the one seeing me will not see me;

your eyes are upon me, but I will be gone.

6 “My days pass by faster than a weaver can work.

They come to an end. I don’t have any hope.

7 God, remember that my life is only a breath.

I’ll never be happy again.

8 The eyes that see me now won’t see me anymore.

You will look for me. But I’ll be gone.

6 “My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle,

And come to an end without hope.

7 “Remember that my life is but breath;

My eye will not again see good.

8 “The eye of him who sees me will behold me no longer;

Your eyes will be on me, but I will not be.
