Job 7:2 in the King James Version
As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work:
Context
1 “Isn’t a man forced to labor on earth? Aren’t his days like the days of a hired hand?
2 As a servant who earnestly desires the shadow, as a hireling who looks for his wages,
3 so I am made to possess months of misery, wearisome nights are appointed to me.
