They speed along like papyrus boats. They are like eagles swooping down on their food.

我的日子过去如快船，如急落抓食的鹰。

我的日子如蒲草船掠过，如鹰俯冲抓食。

我的日子如蒲草船掠过，如鹰俯冲抓食。

我的岁月疾驰如快船，快如急降抓食的老鹰。

我的日子消逝有如快船，好像俯冲猛扑食物的鹰。

我的日子過去如快船，如急落抓食的鷹。

我的日子如蒲草船掠過，如鷹俯衝抓食。

我的日子如蒲草船掠過，如鷹俯衝抓食。

我的歲月疾馳如快船，快如急降抓食的老鷹。

我的日子消逝有如快船，好像俯衝猛撲食物的鷹。

它一掠而去，同蒲快艇一樣；如急落攫食的兀鷹。

日過如扁舟、又如疾下攫物之鷹、

日去如扁舟、勢若巨鷹之摶擊。

我日已逝、速如扁舟、又如鵰鷹、飛以攫物、

They skim past like boats of papyrus, like eagles swooping down on their prey.

They go by like skiffs of reed, like an eagle swooping on the prey.

It disappears like a swift papyrus boat, like an eagle swooping down on its prey.

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

They slip by like reed boats, Like an eagle that swoops on its prey.

They pass by like swift ships, Like an eagle swooping on its prey.

They are passed away as the swift ships; As the eagle that swoopeth on the prey.

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

They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle[ that] hasteth to the prey.

They glide by like reed boats, like an eagle that swoops down on its prey.

They have passed away as the swift ships, as the eagle that swoops on the prey.

Their horses are faster than leopards. They are meaner than wolves at sunset. Their horsemen charge straight into battle. They ride in from far away. They come down like an eagle diving for its food.

Its people send messengers on the Nile River. They travel over the water in papyrus boats. Messengers, hurry back home! Go back to your people, who are tall and have smooth skin. Everyone is afraid of them. They are warriors whose language is different from ours. Their land is divided up by rivers.

Those who were hunting us down were faster than eagles in the sky. They chased us over the mountains. They hid and waited for us in the desert.

Do you command eagles to fly so high? They build their nests as high as they can.They live on cliffs and stay there at night. High up on the rocks they think they are safe.From there they look for their food. They can see it from far away.Their little ones like to eat blood. Eagles gather where they see dead bodies.”

“ When they lived, Saul and Jonathan were loved and respected. When they died, they were not parted. They were faster than eagles. They were stronger than lions.

When you take even a quick look at riches, they are gone. They grow wings and fly away into the sky like an eagle.

Look! Our enemies are approaching like the clouds. Their chariots are coming like a strong wind. Their horses are faster than eagles. How terrible it will be for us! We’ll be destroyed!
