Job 7:5

Job's Second Speech: A Response To Eliphaz

⁴ “When I lie down I say,
‘When shall I arise?’
But the night continues,
And I am continually tossing until dawn.
⁵ “My flesh is clothed with worms and a crust of dirt,
My skin hardens and runs.
⁶ “My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle,
And come to an end without hope.
