New Living Translation (NLT)
Job 7
16 I hate my life and don’t want to go on living. Oh, leave me alone for my few remaining days.
17 “What are people, that you should make so much of us, that you should think of us so often?
18 For you examine us every morning and test us every moment.
19 Why won’t you leave me alone, at least long enough for me to swallow!
20 If I have sinned, what have I done to you, O watcher of all humanity? Why make me your target? Am I a burden to you?
21 Why not just forgive my sin and take away my guilt? For soon I will lie down in the dust and die. When you look for me, I will be gone.”
Job 8
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied to Job:
2 “How long will you go on like this? You sound like a blustering wind.
3 Does God twist justice? Does the Almighty twist what is right?
4 Your children must have sinned against him, so their punishment was well deserved.
5 But if you pray to God and seek the favor of the Almighty,
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
