In context
3So have I also endured months of vanity, And nights of pain have been appointed me.
4Whenever I lie down, I say, When will it be day? And whenever I rise up, again I say when will it be evening? And I am full of pains from evening to morning.
— Job 7:5 —

7Remember then that my life is breath, And mine eye shall not yet again see good.
