Job 9:27

²⁵ My days are swifter than a runner; they flee without seeing good.

²⁶ They sweep by like boats of papyrus, like an eagle swooping down on its prey.

If I were to say, ‘I will forget my complaint and change my expression and smile,’

²⁸ I would still dread all my sufferings; I know that You will not acquit me.

²⁹ Since I am already found guilty, why should I labor in vain?

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
