My days pass by more swiftly than the shuttle of a weaver’s loom.
They come to an end without hope.

Job Addresses God

Remember that my life is just a breath.[a]
My eyes will never again see good fortune.
The eyes that see me now will no longer watch me.
Your eyes will look for me, but I will not be there.

Footnotes

  1. Job 7:7 This verse begins a new section of Job’s speech. For the rest of the chapter, Job is no longer speaking to Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar, but directly to God. This happens often in Job’s speeches.

My days are (A)swifter than (B)a weaver's shuttle
    and come to their end without hope.

    my eye will never again see good.
(D)The eye of him who sees me will behold me no more;
    while your eyes are on me, (E)I shall be gone.
