“My(A) days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle,
And are spent without hope.
Oh, remember that (B)my life is a breath!
My eye will never again see good.
(C)The eye of him who sees me will see me no more;
While your eyes are upon me, I shall no longer be.
As the cloud disappears and vanishes away,
So (D)he who goes down to the grave does not come up.
10 He shall never return to his house,
(E)Nor shall his place know him anymore.

25 “Now (A)my days are swifter than a runner;
They flee away, they see no good.
26 They pass by like [a]swift ships,
(B)Like an eagle swooping on its prey.
