American Standard Version
"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. "
— Job 7:4, American Standard Version
“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.”
“When I lie down, I say, 'When shall I arise, and the night be gone?' I toss and turn until the dawning of the day.”
“If I lie down, I say,‘When will I arise?’, and the night stretches on and I toss and turn restlessly until the day dawns.”
“If I lie down to sleep, I shall say: When shall I rise? and again, I shall look for the evening, and shall be filled with sorrows even till darkness.”
“When I go to my bed, I say, When will it be time to get up? but the night is long, and I am turning from side to side till morning light.”
“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.”
Is there not a warfare to man upon earth? And are not his days like the days of a hireling?
As a servant that earnestly desireth the shadow, And as a hireling that looketh for his wages:
So am I made to possess months of misery, 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 closeth up, and breaketh out afresh.
My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, And are spent without hope.
Oh remember that my life is a breath: Mine eye shall no more see good.
