⁷ Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, And all my members are as a shadow.

¹⁶ My face is red with weeping, And on my eyelids is the shadow of death;

⁷ Mine eye wasteth away because of grief; It waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.

⁸ And thou hast laid fast hold on me, `which' is a witness `against me': And my leanness riseth up against me, It testifieth to my face.

⁹ Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah, for I am in distress: Mine eye wasteth away with grief, `yea', my soul and my body.

¹⁰ For my life is spent with sorrow, And my years with sighing: My strength faileth because of mine iniquity, And my bones are wasted away.

²³ I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.

¹² For who knoweth what is good for man in `his' life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?

¹⁷ For this our heart is faint; For these things our eyes are dim;
