Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 25 is found in chapter 9 of Job. Job’s life appears extremely brief and swift. Happy days escape like fast messengers while his sorrow remains. His effort to forget the pain also fails because Job fears that his suffering will continue to be interpreted as evidence of guilt. Public perception thus becomes an additional dimension of his physical and spiritual suffering.

Meine Tage sind schneller gewesen denn ein Läufer; sie sind geflohen und haben nichts Gutes erlebt.
Mis días han sido más ligeros que un correo; Huyeron, y no vieron el bien.
Mis días corren más veloces que un mensajero; huyen sin ver el bien.
Mes jours sont plus rapides qu'un courrier; Ils fuient sans avoir vu le bonheur;
Ma i miei giorni sono stati più leggieri che un corriero; Son fuggiti via, non hanno goduto il bene;
E os meus dias são mais velozes do que um correio; fugiram, e não viram o bem.
「我的日子比奔跑者更快, 急速過去,不見福樂。
