New Catholic Bible

Chapter 7

A Life of Exhausting Service[a]

1 “Is not man’s life on earth an exhausting one,
    and are not his days like those of a hired laborer?
2 Like a slave who sighs for the evening shade
    and like a laborer who is bent upon his wages,
3 so have I been forced to endure months of futility,
    and nights of grief have been inflicted on me.
