00:00.000 --> 00:04.580
Is there not an appointed time to man upon
earth?

00:05.220 --> 00:07.560
Are not his days also like the days of an
hireling?

00:08.440 --> 00:13.760
As a servant earnestly desireth the
shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the

00:13.760 --> 00:19.080
reward of his work, so am I made to
possess months of vanity, and wearisome

00:19.080 --> 00:20.500
nights are appointed to me.

00:21.060 --> 00:25.660
When I lie down, I say, when shall I arise
and the night be gone?

00:25.660 --> 00:29.940
And I am full of tossings to and fro unto
the dawning of the day.

00:30.920 --> 00:34.400
My flesh is clothed with worms and clods
of dust.

00:34.620 --> 00:36.700
My skin is broken and become loathsome.

00:37.100 --> 00:40.660
My days are swifter than a weaver's
shuttle and are spent without hope.

00:42.040 --> 00:44.400
Oh, remember that my life is wind.

00:45.480 --> 00:47.080
Mine eye shall no more see good.

00:47.780 --> 00:51.220
The eye of him that hath seen me shall see
me no more.

00:51.860 --> 00:55.060
Thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.

00:55.980 --> 01:00.840
As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth
away, so he that goeth down to the grave

01:00.840 --> 01:02.020
shall come up no more.

01:02.640 --> 01:04.600
He shall return no more to his house.

01:05.400 --> 01:07.380
Neither shall his place know him any more.

01:08.200 --> 01:09.920
Therefore I will not refrain my mouth.

01:10.560 --> 01:12.960
I will speak in the anguish of my spirit.

01:13.060 --> 01:15.140
I will complain in the bitterness of my
soul.

01:15.820 --> 01:19.180
Am I a sea or a whale that thou settest to
watch over me?

01:19.180 --> 01:23.160
When I say my bed shall comfort me,
my couch shall ease my complaint,

01:23.840 --> 01:27.540
then thou scar'st me with dreams and
terrify'st me through visions,

01:27.980 --> 01:31.580
so that my soul chooseth strangling and
death rather than my life.

01:32.320 --> 01:33.320
I loathe it.

01:33.860 --> 01:35.240
I would not live all way.

01:35.840 --> 01:38.100
Let me alone for my days are vanity.

01:39.100 --> 01:43.200
What is man that thou shouldest magnify
him and that thou shouldest set thine

01:43.200 --> 01:47.680
heart upon him, and that thou shouldest
visit him every morning and try him every

01:47.680 --> 01:48.040
moment?

01:48.040 --> 01:53.120
How long wilt thou not depart from me,
nor let me alone till I swallow down my

01:53.120 --> 01:53.500
spittle?

01:54.720 --> 01:55.960
I have sinned.

01:56.360 --> 01:59.660
What shall I do unto thee, O thou
preserver of men?

02:00.160 --> 02:04.460
Why hast thou set me as a mark against
thee, so that I am a burden to myself?

02:05.080 --> 02:10.160
And why dost thou not pardon my
transgression and take away mine iniquity?

02:11.060 --> 02:15.040
For now shall I sleep in the dust,
and thou shalt seek me in the morning.

02:15.040 --> 02:16.980
But I shall not be.
