³ So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.

⁶ I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

¹⁴ I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.

⁵ Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.

² Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;

⁷ But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.
