until he accomplishes, as a hireling, his day.

Selected verse

yet through the scent of water it will bud,

and sprout boughs like a plant.

10

But man dies, and is laid low.

Yes, man gives up the spirit, and where is he?

11

As the waters fail from the sea,

and the river wastes and dries up,

12

Until the heavens are no more, they will not awake,

nor be roused out of their sleep.
