²⁵ My days were swifter than a courier; they fled away, and saw not good.

²⁶ They passed away as [the] ships bearing apples, as an eagle flying to (its) meat (like an eagle flying to its food).

²⁷ When I say, I shall not speak so; I change my face, and I am tormented with sorrow. (If I say, I shall not speak thus; I shall change my face, and shall comfort myself.)
