4For a thousand years be before thine eyes; as yesterday, which is passed, and as the keeping in the night.
5The years of them shall be; that be had for nought. Early pass he, as an herb,
6early flourish he, and pass; in the eventide fall he down, be he hard, and wax he dry.
7For we have failed in thine ire; and we be troubled in thy strong vengeance.
