“They are passed away as the swift ships; As the eagle that swoopeth on the prey. ”
“They have passed away as the swift ships, as the eagle that swoops on the prey.”

If a scourge brings sudden death, he mocks at the despair of the innocent.
If a land has been given into the hand of a wicked man, he covers the faces of its judges; if it is not he, then who is it?
Renewed Complaint“My days are swifter than a runner, they speed by without seeing happiness.
They glide by like reed boats, like an eagle that swoops down on its prey.
If I say,‘I will forget my complaint, I will change my expression and be cheerful,’
I dread all my sufferings, for I know that you do not hold me blameless.
If I am guilty, why then weary myself in vain?
