“By the breath of God they perish,
And by the blast of His anger they come to an end.

“What is my strength, that I should wait?
And what is my end, that I should endure?

“My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle,
And come to an end without hope.

“Though your beginning was insignificant,
Yet your end will increase greatly.

“Is not your wickedness great,
And your iniquities without end?

“Man puts an end to darkness,
And to the farthest limit he searches out
The rock in gloom and deep shadow.

“If they hear and serve Him,
They will end their days in prosperity
And their years in pleasures.
