7 but humans are born to trouble just as sparks[a] fly upward.(A)
14 “A mortal, born of woman, few of days and full of trouble,(A)
2 It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest,eating the bread of anxious toil, for he gives sleep to his beloved.[a](A)
18 For in much wisdom is much vexation,and those who increase knowledge increase sorrow.(A)
