IS there not an appointed time to man upon earth?  are not his days also like the days of an hireling?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013472">2</a>. As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013473">3</a>. So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013474">4</a>. When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone?  and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013475">5</a>. My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013476">6</a>. My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013477">7</a>. O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013478">8</a>. The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013479">9</a>. As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013480">10</a>. He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013481">11</a>. Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013482">12</a>. Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013483">13</a>. When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013484">14</a>. Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013485">15</a>. So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013486">16</a>. I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013487">17</a>. What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him?  and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013488">18</a>. And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013489">19</a>. How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013490">20</a>. I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men?  why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013491">21</a>. And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity?  for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.</li>
