Job 10:20

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

Is it not my days few? He will cease; he will turn from me, and I shall be cheerful a little,

See the chapter Copy

Man being born of woman is short of days and full of disquiet

Look away from me, and I shall be cheerful, before I shall go and I not be.

Behold, thou gavest my days a hand-breadth, and my life as nothing before thee: but every man stood all vanity. Silence.

Remove thy hand far from me, and thy terror shall not make me afraid.

(For yesterday are we and we shall not know, for our days upon earth are a shadow:)

He will not give me to draw in my spirit, for he will fill me with bitterness.

I shall be as I was not; I shall be brought from the womb to the grave.
