1 “People have a hard struggle on earth. Their life is like that of a hired worker.
2 They are like a slave looking for cool shade or a hired worker waiting for payday.
3 Month after frustrating month has gone by. I have suffered night after night.
4 When I lie down, I think, ‘How long before it’s time to get up?’ The night drags on. I toss and turn until the sun comes up.
5 My skin is covered with worms and scabs. It is cracked and covered with sores.
6 “My days pass by faster than a weaver’s shuttle, and my life will end without hope.
