Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.
A post - a courier. In the wide Persian empire such couriers, on dromedaries or on foot, were employed to carry the royal commands to the distant provinces (Esther 3:13; Esther 3:15; Esther 8:14). My days aura a not like the slow caravan, but the fleet post. The days are themselves poetically said to see no good, instead of Job in them (1 Peter 3:10).
