My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.
When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return.
My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.
My breath is strange to my wife, though I entreated for the children's sake of mine own body.
After this lived Job a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
What is my strength, that I should hope? And what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?
My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.
For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.
