so am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.
But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.
For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.
Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;
As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as a hireling looketh for the reward of his work;
Behold, thou hast made my days as a handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.
I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.
I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
