Job 9:25-27

New International Reader's Version

²⁵ “God, my days race by like a runner.
    They fly away without seeing any joy.
²⁶ They speed along like papyrus boats.
    They are like eagles swooping down on their food.
²⁷ Suppose I say, ‘I’ll forget about all my problems.
    I’ll change my frown into a smile.’
