1Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling?2As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work:3So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.

1Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.6Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day.
