Job 7:17-21
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 7
17What is man that You exalt him, And that You are concerned about him, 18That You examine him every morning And put him to the test every moment? 19 Will You never turn Your gaze away from me, Nor leave me alone until I swallow my spittle? 20Have I sinned? What have I done to You, Watcher of mankind? Why have You made me Your target, So that I am a burden to myself? 21Why then do You not forgive my wrongdoing And take away my guilt? For now I will lie down in the dust; And You will search for me, but I will no longer exist.'King James Version
Chapter 7
17What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him? 18And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment? 19How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle? 20I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself? 21And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 7
17What is a mere human, that you think so highly of him and pay so much attention to him? 18You inspect him every morning, and put him to the test every moment. 19Will you ever look away from me, or leave me alone long enough to swallow? 20If I have sinned, what have I done to you, Watcher of humanity? Why have you made me your target, so that I have become a burden to you? 21Why not forgive my sin and pardon my iniquity? For soon I will lie down in the grave. You will eagerly seek me, but I will be gone.New Living Translation
Chapter 7
17'What are people, that you should make so much of us, that you should think of us so often? 18For you examine us every morning and test us every moment. 19Why won’t you leave me alone, at least long enough for me to swallow! 20If 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? 21Why 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.'English Standard Version

17What is man, that you make so much of him, and that you set your heart on him, 18visit him every morning and test him every moment? 19How long will you not look away from me, nor leave me alone till I swallow my spit? 20If I sin, what do I do to you, you watcher of mankind?

For now I shall lie in the earth; you will seek me, but I shall not be.”New International Version
Chapter 7
17What is mankind that you make so much of them, that you give them so much attention, 18that you examine them every morning and test them every moment? 19Will you never look away from me, or let me alone even for an instant? 20If I have sinned, what have I done to you, you who see everything we do? Why have you made me your target? Have I become a burden to you? 21Why do you not pardon my offenses and forgive my sins? For I will soon lie down in the dust; you will search for me, but I will be no more.'New King James Version
