Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling?

2
As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work:
WhatsApp Copy
3
So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.
WhatsApp Copy
4
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.
WhatsApp Copy
5
My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome.
WhatsApp Copy
6
My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.
WhatsApp Copy
7
O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good.
WhatsApp Copy
8
The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.
WhatsApp Copy
9
As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more.
WhatsApp Copy
10
He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.
WhatsApp Copy
11
Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
WhatsApp Copy
12
Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?
WhatsApp Copy
13
When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaints;
WhatsApp Copy
14
Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions:
WhatsApp Copy
15
So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life.
WhatsApp Copy
16
I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity.
WhatsApp Copy
17
What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him?
WhatsApp Copy
18
And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment?
WhatsApp Copy
19
How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?
WhatsApp Copy
20
I 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?
WhatsApp Copy
21
And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.
