1 “Man has a hard task on earth.His days are like those of a hired man.
2 Man is like a slave wishing for the evening shadows.Or he is like a hired man who wants his pay.
3 But I am given months that are empty.Nights of misery have been given to me.
4 When I lie down, I think, ‘How long is it until I get up?’The night is long, and I toss until dawn.
