Job 7 Summary

Job speaks of an appointed time for man on earth, comparing his days to those of a hired servant longing for evening and his wages. His nights are filled with tossing and his flesh clothed with worms; his days pass swifter than a weaver's shuttle and are spent without hope. Job reminds God that his life is wind and will not see good again. He complains that God watches him relentlessly and terrifies him with dreams and visions. Job wishes for death rather than his life, protests that he will not refrain from speaking in his anguish, and asks God why he will not pardon his transgression and iniquity.
