1 “Isn’t a man forced to labour on earth?Aren’t his days like the days of a hired hand?
2 As a servant who earnestly desires the shadow,as a hireling who looks for his wages,
3 so am I made to possess months of misery,wearisome nights are appointed to me.
4 When I lie down, I say,‘When shall I arise, and the night be gone?’I toss and turn until the dawning of the day.
