5:16 This is another misfortune: 1
Just as he came, so will he go.
What did he gain from toiling for the wind?
5:17 Surely, he ate in darkness every day of his life, 2
and he suffered greatly with sickness and anger.
1 tn See the note on the phrase “depressing misfortune” in v. 13.
2 tn Heb “all his days.” The phrase “of his life” does not appear in the Hebrew text, but is supplied in the translation for clarity.
