1 “Isn’t a mortal’s stay on earth difficultlike a hired hand’s daily ⌊work⌋?
2 Like a slave, he longs for shade.Like a hired hand, he eagerly looks for his pay.
3 Likewise, I have been given months that are of no use,and I have inherited nights filled with misery.
4 When I lie down, I ask,‘When will I get up?’But the evening is long,and I’m exhausted from tossing about until dawn.
