Seeing his days are determined, The number of his months is with thee, And thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;Look away from him, that he may rest, Till he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day.

Oh that thou wouldest hide me in Sheol, That thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, That thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!If a man die, shall he live again? All the days of my warfare would I wait, Till my release should come.

For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that was a householder, who went out early in the morning to hire laborers into his vineyard.And when he had agreed with the laborers for a shilling a day, he sent them into his vineyard.And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing in the marketplace idle;and to them he said, Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing; and he saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard.And when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the laborers, and pay them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a shilling.And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received every man a shilling.And when they received it, they murmured against the householder,saying, These last have spent but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.But he answered and said to one of them, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a shilling?Take up that which is thine, and go thy way; it is my will to give unto this last, even as unto thee.Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? or is thine eye evil, because I am good?

For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, all the glory of Kedar shall fail;

It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou lettest him go free from thee; for to the double of the hire of a hireling hath he served thee six years: and Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all that thou doest.

And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he sold himself to him unto the year of jubilee: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years; according to the time of a hired servant shall he be with him.

Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem; and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she hath received of Jehovah’s hand double for all her sins.
