05UndatedMy grief were thoroughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together! For now it would be heavier than the sand of the desert.Compton Gage / quote ↗
06UndatedWhat is my strength, that I should hope? Is my strength the strength of stone? Or is my flesh of brass? Is not my help in me.Compton Gage / quote ↗
07UndatedThough dead is promised to me, when will I slumber, deep? Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? Are not his days also like the days of an hireling? As a servant earnestly desires the shadow, and as an hireling looks for the reward of his work: So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.Compton Gage / quote ↗
08UndatedWherefore is light given to him that is in misery, And life unto the bitter in soul; Which long for death, but it cometh not; And dig for it more than for hid treasures; Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?Compton Gage / quote ↗
09UndatedOne generation passes away, and another generation cometh forth: but the earth abides for ever.Compton Gage / quote ↗
10UndatedIf the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree falls toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falls, there it shall be.Compton Gage / quote ↗
