So I have been made to inherit months of futility,
and troubled nights have been assigned to me.

If a human being dies, will he live again? I will endure the entire time of my assigned service, until I am changed.

“I too will give my share of answers;
I too will express my opinion and share my knowledge.

Have you ever in your life commanded the morning
or assigned the dawn its place,

to whom I have assigned the wilderness for its home, and the salt land for its dwellings?
