Job 7:5

Job's Second Speech: A Response To Eliphaz

⁴
“When I lie down I say,
‘When shall I arise [and the night be gone]?’
But the night continues,
And I am continually tossing until the dawning of day.
⁵ 
“My body is clothed with worms and a crust of dust;
My skin is hardened [and broken and loathsome], and [breaks out and] runs.
⁶
“My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle,
And are spent without hope.

And they will be an abhorrence to all mankind.”
