King James Version with Apocrypha
"As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work:"
— Job 7:2, King James Version with Apocrypha
“As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work:”
“As a servant that earnestly desireth the shadow, And as a hireling that looketh for his wages: ”
“As a servant who earnestly desires the shadow, as a hireling who looks for his wages,”
“Like a servant longing for the evening shadow, and like a hired man looking for his wages,”
“As a servant longeth for the shade, as the hireling looketh for the end of his work;”
“As a servant desiring the shades of evening, and a workman looking for his payment:”
Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling?
As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work:
So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.
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.
My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome.
