Job 7:2-4

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

² Like a slave who longs for the shadow,
    and like laborers who look for their wages,^(A)
3 so I am allotted months of emptiness,
    and nights of misery are apportioned to me.^(B)
4 When I lie down I say, ‘When shall I rise?’
    But the night is long,
    and I am full of tossing until dawn.^(C)
