Bible. Job
18:006:027 Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your
friend.
18:006:028 Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto
you if I lie.
18:006:029 Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again,
my righteousness is in it.
18:006:030 Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern
perverse things?
18:007:001 Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his
days also like the days of an hireling?
18:007:002 As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling
looketh for the reward of his work:
18:007:003 So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights
are appointed to me.
18:007:004 When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be
gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of
the day.
18:007:005 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is
broken, and become loathsome.
18:007:006 My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent
without hope.
18:007:007 O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see
good.
18:007:008 The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine
eyes are upon me, and I am not.
18:007:009 As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth
down to the grave shall come up no more.
18:007:010 He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place
know him any more.
18:007:011 Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the
anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my
soul.
18:007:012 Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?
18:007:013 When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my
complaints;
18:007:014 Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through
visions:
18:007:015 So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my
life.
18:007:016 I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days
are vanity.
18:007:017 What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou
shouldest set thine heart upon him?
18:007:018 And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him
every moment?
18:007:019 How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I
swallow down my spittle?
18:007:020 I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of
men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am
a burden to myself?
18:007:021 And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away
my iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt
seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.
18:008:001 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
