Is there not a warfare to man on earth? And as the days of an hireling his days? As a servant desireth the shadow, And as a hireling expecteth his wage, So I have been caused to inherit months of vanity, And nights of misery they numbered to me.

and to these he said, Go ye -- also ye -- to the vineyard, and whatever may be righteous I will give you; and they went away.
