""As a slave who pants for the shade, And as a hired man who eagerly waits for his wages,"
— job 7:2, New American Standard Bible
"Is not man forced to labor on earth, And are not his days like the days of a hired man?
"As a slave who pants for the shade, And as a hired man who eagerly waits for his wages,
So am I allotted months of vanity, And nights of trouble are appointed me.
"When I lie down I say, 'When shall I arise?' But the night continues, And I am continually tossing until dawn.
"My flesh is clothed with worms and a crust of dirt, My skin hardens and runs.
