ESV: Like a slave who longs for the shadow, and like a hired hand who looks for his wages,
NIV: Like a slave longing for the evening shadows, or a hired laborer waiting to be paid,
NASB: As a slave pants for the shade, And as a hired worker who eagerly waits for his wages,
CSB: Like a slave he longs for shade; like a hired worker he waits for his pay.
NLT: like a worker who longs for the shade, like a servant waiting to be paid.
KJV: As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work:
NKJV: Like a servant who earnestly desires the shade, And like a hired man who eagerly looks for his wages,
