Job 7:6

My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle; they come to an end without hope.

Job 7:6 · BSB

Job 7:6 in context

The verses around it, from Job 7.

2 Like a slave he longs for shade; like a hireling he waits for his wages.

3 So I am allotted months of futility, and nights of misery are appointed me.

4 When I lie down I think: ‘When will I get up?’ But the night drags on, and I toss and turn until dawn.

5 My flesh is clothed with worms and encrusted with dirt; my skin is cracked and festering.

6 My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle; they come to an end without hope.

7 Remember that my life is but a breath. My eyes will never again see happiness.

8 The eye that beholds me will no longer see me. You will look for me, but I will be no more.

9 As a cloud vanishes and is gone, so he who goes down to Sheol does not come back up.

10 He never returns to his house; his place remembers him no more.
