So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.

And the Sabeans fell {upon them}, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to {him that is} weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.

Therefore also will I make {thee} sick in smiting thee, in making {thee} desolate because of thy sins.

My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:

When the Almighty {was} yet with me, {when} my children {were} about me;

I loathe {it}; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days {are} vanity.

My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. {weary...: or, cut off while I live}

I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears. {all...: or, every night}

There the wicked cease {from} troubling; and there the weary be at rest. {weary: Heb. wearied in strength}

So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.

He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me.

{Touching} the Almighty, we cannot find him out: {he is} excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.

He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate.
