Job 9:25-27

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²⁵ ‘My days are swifter than a runner;
    they flee away, they see no good.
²⁶ They go by like skiffs of reed,
    like an eagle swooping on the prey.
²⁷ If I say, “I will forget my complaint;
    I will put off my sad countenance and be of good cheer”,
