1. Hath not man a life of labour upon earth? and are not his days like the days of a hireling?
2. As a bondman earnestly desireth the shadow, and a hireling expecteth his wages,
3. So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.
4. If I lie down, I say, When shall I rise up, and the darkness be gone? and I am full of tossings until the dawn.
