Spent without hope

Job 7:1–6, “Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling? As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work: So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me. When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day. My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome. My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without hope.”

Job believed that every person on the earth already has an allotted time span. When the time is up then he will die. Most people believe that they can get some joy and reward from their time on earth just like a hired servant expects to get paid at the end of the day. Job didn’t know how long he would live for but he had lost all hope of ever escaping from his days of pain.
