1[Is there] not an appointed time to man upon earth? [are not] his days also like the days of an employee (hired laborer) ?
2As a servant earnestly desires the shadow, and as an employee (hired laborer) looks for [the reward of] his work:
3So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.
4When 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.
5My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome.
6My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without hope.
7O remember that my life [is] wind: my eye shall no more see good.
8The eye of him that has seen me shall see me no [more] : youi eyes [are] upon me, and I [am] not.
9[As] the cloud is consumed and vanishes away: so he that goes down to the grave shall come up no [more] .
10He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him anymore.
11Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
12[Am] I a sea, or a whale, that youi set a watch over me?
13When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint;
14Then youi terrify me with dreams, and terrify me through visions:
15So that my soul chooses strangling, [and] death rather than my life.
16I loathe [it] ; I would not live always: let me alone; for my days [are] vanity.
17What [is] man, that youi should magnify him? and that youi should set youi heart upon him?
18And [that] youi should visit him every morning, [and] try him every moment?
19How long will youi not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow (to approve, commend, accept) down my spittle?
20I have sinned; what shall I do unto youi , O youi preserver of men? why have youi set me as a mark against youi , so that I am a burden to myself?
21And why do youi not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and youi shall seek me in the morning, but I [shall] not [be] .
