Job 7:17

A Conservative Version

What is man, that thou should magnify him, and that thou should set thy mind upon him,

See the chapter Copy

But a certain man has somewhere testified, saying, What is man, that thou remember him? Or a son of man, that thou help him?

what is man that thou remember him? And the son of man that thou succor him?

LORD, what is man, that thou take knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that thou make account of him?

Am I a sea, or a sea-monster, that thou set a watch over me?

After whom is the king of Israel come out? After whom do thou pursue? After a dead dog, after a flea.

Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.

How much less man, who is a worm! And the son of man, who is a worm!

And do thou open thine eyes upon such a one, and bring me into judgment with thee?

For thou have made him but little lower than [heavenly] agents, and crowned him with glory and honor.
