We live maybe 70 years.\par And if we are strong, maybe 80 years.\par Our lives are filled with hard work and pain.\par Then suddenly, our lives are finished!\par And we fly away.\par
Jacob said to Pharaoh, “I have had a short life with many troubles. I have lived only 130 years. My father and his ancestors [251] lived to be much older than I am.”
I am 80 years old! I am too old to tell which is bad and which is good. I am too old to taste the things I eat or drink. I am too old to hear any more the voices of men and women that sing. Why should you want to be bothered with me?
Like a dream, he will fly away\par and no one will ever find him.\par He will be forced away and forgotten\par like a bad dream. {\cf2\super [33]} \par
My home, my shepherd’s tent,\par is being pulled down\par and taken from me.\par I am finished\par like the cloth a man rolls up\par and cuts from the loom. {\cf2\super [367]} \par You finished my life in such a short time!\par
