Job 9:25-27

The Voice

²⁵     As for me, my days are sprinting by like a runner.
        Seeing nothing good, they seek escape.
²⁶     They glide past in swift silence like reed boats on the river.
        Now a blur, they dive like an eagle toward its prey.
²⁷     If I tell myself, “I will forget all about my grievance against God,
        I will simply abandon my long face and cheer up,”
