Job 7:19-21
Good News Translation
19 Won't you look away long enough
for me to swallow my spit?
20 Are you harmed by my sin, you jailer?
Why use me for your target practice?
Am I so great a burden to you?
21 Can't you ever forgive my sin?
Can't you pardon the wrong I do?
Soon I will be in my grave,
and I'll be gone when you look for me.

Have I become a burden to you?[a](E)

and forgive my sins?(F)
For I will soon lie down in the dust;(G)
you will search for me, but I will be no more.”(H)
