1 “Is there not a time of hard service for man on earth?Are not his days also like the days of a hired man?
2 Like a servant who earnestly desires the shade,And like a hired man who eagerly looks for his wages,
3 So I have been allotted months of futility,And wearisome nights have been appointed to me.
4 When I lie down, I say, ‘When shall I arise,And the night be ended?’For I have had my fill of tossing till dawn.
