Job 7:17

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

What are humans, that you make so much of them, that you set your mind on them,

See the chapter Copy

But someone has testified somewhere, “What are humans that you are mindful of them or mortals that you care for them?

what are humans that you are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them?

O Lord, what are humans that you regard them, or mortals that you think of them?

Am I the Sea or the Dragon that you set a guard over me?

Against whom has the king of Israel come out? Whom do you pursue? A dead dog? A single flea?

“Can a mortal be of use to God? Can even the wisest be of service to him?

how much less a mortal, who is a maggot, and a human being, who is a worm!”

Do you fix your eyes on such a one? Do you bring me into judgment with you?

Yet you have made them a little lower than God and crowned them with glory and honor.
