ManH120 that is bornH3205 of a womanH802 is of fewH7116 days H3117and fullH7646 of trouble.H7267
2
He comesH3318 forthH3318 like a flower,H6731 and is cutH5243 down: he fleesH1272 also as a shadow,H6738 and continuesH5975 not.
3
And does you openH6491 your eyesH5869 on suchH2088 an one, and bringH935 me into judgmentH4941 with you?
4
WhoH4310 can bringH5414 a cleanH2889 thing out of an unclean?H2931 not one.H259
5
SeeingH518 his daysH3117 are determined,H2782 the numberH4557 of his monthsH2320 are with you, you have appointedH6213 his boundsH2706 that he cannotH3808 pass;H5674
6
TurnH8159 from him, that he may rest,H2308 tillH5704 he shall accomplish,H7521 as an hireling,H7916 his day.H3117
7
For there is hopeH8615 of a tree,H6086 if it be cutH3772 down, that it will sproutH2498 again,H5750 and that the tenderH3127 branch thereof will not cease.H2308
8
ThoughH518 the rootH8328 thereof wax oldH2204 in the earth,H776 and the stockH1503 thereof dieH4191 in the ground;H6083
9
Yet through the scentH7381 of waterH4325 it will bud,H6524 and bringH6213 forthH6213 boughsH7105 likeH3644 a plant.H5194
10
But manH1397 dies,H4191 and wastesH2522 away: yes, manH120 givesH1478 up the ghost,H1478 and whereH346 is he?
11
As the watersH4325 failH235 from the sea,H3220 and the floodH5104 decaysH2717 and driesH3001 up:
12
So manH376 liesH7901 down,H7901 and risesH6965 not: tillH5704 the heavensH8064 be noH1115 more, they shall not awake,H6974 norH3808 be raisedH5782 out of their sleep.H8142
13
O that you would hideH6845 me in the grave,H7585 that you would keep me secret,H5641 untilH5704 your wrathH639 be past,H7725 that you would appointH7896 me a setH2706 time, and rememberH2142 me!
14
IfH518 a manH1397 die,H4191 shall he liveH2421 again? allH3605 the daysH3117 of my appointedH6635 timeH6635 will I wait,H3176 tillH5704 my changeH2487 come.H935
15
You shall call,H7121 and I will answerH6030 you: you will have a desireH3700 to the workH4639 of your hands.H3027
16
For nowH6258 you numberH5608 my steps:H6806 do you not watchH8104 overH5921 my sin?H2403
17
My transgressionH6588 is sealedH2856 up in a bag,H6872 and you sewH2950 up my iniquity.H5771
18
And surelyH199 the mountainsH2022 fallingH5307 comesH5034 to nothing,H5034 and the rockH6697 is removedH6275 out of his place.H4725
19
The watersH4325 wearH7833 the stones:H68 you washH7857 away the things which growH5599 out of the dustH6083 of the earth;H776 and you destroyH6 the hopeH8615 of man.H582
20
You prevailH8630 for everH5331 against him, and he passes:H1980 you changeH8138 his countenance,H6440 and sendH7971 him away.
21
His sonsH1121 come to honor,H3513 and he knowsH3045 it not; and they are broughtH6819 low,H6819 but he perceivesH995 it not of them.
22
But his fleshH1320 on him shall have pain,H3510 and his soulH5315 withinH5921 him shall mourn.H56
