1“1Is a personH582 not 2forcedH6635 toH6635 laborH6635 on earthH776, And are his daysH3117 not like the daysH3117 of 3a hiredH7916 workerH7916?2As a slaveH5650 pantsH7602 for the shadeH6738, And as a hiredH7916 workerH7916 who eagerlyH6960 waitsH6960 for his wagesH6467,3SoH3651 I am allottedH5157 worthlessH7723 monthsH3391, And 4nightsH3915 of troubleH5999 are apportionedH4487 to me.4WhenH518 I 5lieH7901 downH7901, I sayH559, ‘WhenH4970 shall I ariseH6965?’ But the nightH6153 continuesH4058, And I amH7646 continuallyH7646 tossingH5076 untilH5704 dawnH5399.5My 6fleshH1320 is clothedH3847 with maggotsH7415 and a crustH1487 of dirtH6083, My skinH5785 hardensH7280 and 7oozesH4549.6My daysH3117 areH7043 8swifterH7043 thanH4480 a weaver’sH708 shuttleH708, And they comeH3615 toH3615 anH3615 endH3615 9withoutH657 hopeH8615.

7“RememberH2142 that my lifeH2425 10is a mere breathH7307; My eyeH5869 will 11not seeH7200 goodnessH2896 againH7725.8The 12eyeH5869 of him who seesH7210 me will noH3808 longer lookH7789 atH7789 me; Your eyesH5869 will be on me, but 13I will notH369 existH369.9When a 14cloudH6051 vanishesH3615, it is goneH1980; InH3651 theH3651 sameH3651 wayH3651 15one who goesH3381 downH3381 to 1617SheolH7585 does not comeH5927 upH5927.10He will not returnH7725 to his houseH1004 againH5750, NorH3808 will 18his placeH4725 knowH5234 aboutH5234 him anymoreH5750.
