'Days' in the Bible

When the days of feasting had completed their cycle, Job would send and consecrate them, rising up early in the morning and offering burnt offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said, “Perhaps my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” Thus Job did continually.

Then they sat down on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights with no one speaking a word to him, for they saw that his pain was very great.

“As for that night, let darkness seize it;Let it not rejoice among the days of the year;Let it not come into the number of the months.

“Is not man forced to labor on earth,And are not his days like the days of a hired man?

“My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle,And come to an end without hope.

“I waste away; I will not live forever.Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.

“For we are only of yesterday and know nothing,Because our days on earth are as a shadow.

“Now my days are swifter than a runner;They flee away, they see no good.

‘Are Your days as the days of a mortal,Or Your years as man’s years,

“Would He not let my few days alone?Withdraw from me that I may have a little cheer

“Since his days are determined,The number of his months is with You;And his limits You have set so that he cannot pass.

“If a man dies, will he live again?All the days of my struggle I will waitUntil my change comes.

“The wicked man writhes in pain all his days,And numbered are the years stored up for the ruthless.

“My spirit is broken, my days are extinguished,The grave is ready for me.

“My days are past, my plans are torn apart,Even the wishes of my heart.

“They spend their days in prosperity,And suddenly they go down to Sheol.

“Why are times not stored up by the Almighty,And why do those who know Him not see His days?

“I hold fast my righteousness and will not let it go.My heart does not reproach any of my days.

“Oh that I were as in months gone by,As in the days when God watched over me;

As I was in the prime of my days,When the friendship of God was over my tent;

“Then I thought, ‘I shall die in my nest,And I shall multiply my days as the sand.

“And now my soul is poured out within me;Days of affliction have seized me.

“I am seething within and cannot relax;Days of affliction confront me.

Let his flesh become fresher than in youth,Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor;

“If they hear and serve Him,They will end their days in prosperityAnd their years in pleasures.

“You know, for you were born then,And the number of your days is great!

The Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; and he had 14,000 sheep and 6,000 camels and 1,000 yoke of oxen and 1,000 female donkeys.

And Job died, an old man and full of days.
