Psalms 73:21-22

Psalms 73:21-22. Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins. So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.

For the beast only measures by the day and the hour, as far as its eye can see. Give it a meadow deep with grass, and it is perfectly happy, but when good men get measuring by the day, and by the hour, and by the lifetime here below, they are foolish, and like brute beasts.
