[1]ManH120 that is bornH3205[H8803] of a womanH802 is of fewH7116 daysH3117, and fullH7649 of troubleH7267.
[2]He cometh forthH3318[H8804] like a flowerH6731, and is cut downH5243[H8799]: he fleethH1272[H8799] also as a shadowH6738, and continuethH5975 notH8799.
[3]And dost thou openH6491[H8804] thine eyesH5869 upon such an oneH2088, and bringestH935[H8686] me into judgment with theeH4941?
[4]Who can bringH5414[H8799] a cleanH2889 thing out of an uncleanH2931? not oneH259.
[5]SeeingH518 his daysH3117 are determinedH2782[H8803], the numberH4557 of his monthsH2320 are with thee, thou hast appointedH6213[H8804] his boundsH2706 H5674that he cannot passH8799
[6]TurnH8159[H8798] from him, that he may restH2308[H8799], till he shall accomplishH7521[H8799], as an hirelingH7916, his dayH3117.
[7]For there isH3426 hopeH8615 of a treeH6086, if it be cut downH3772[H8735], that it will sprout againH2498[H8686], and that the tender branchH3127 thereof will not ceaseH2308.[H8799]
[8]Though the rootH8328 thereof wax oldH2204[H8686] in the earthH776, and the stockH1503 thereof dieH4191[H8799] in the groundH6083;
[9]Yet through the scentH7381 of waterH4325 it will budH6524[H8686], and bring forthH6213[H8804] boughsH7105 like a plantH5194.
[10]But manH1397 diethH4191[H8799], and wasteth awayH2522[H8799]: yea, manH120 giveth up the ghostH1478, and where is heH8799?
[11]As the watersH4325 failH235[H8804] from the seaH3220, and the floodH5104 decayethH2717[H8799] and drieth upH3001:[H8804]
[12]So manH376 lieth downH7901[H8804], and risethH6965[H8799] not: till the heavensH8064 be no moreH1115, they shall not awakeH6974[H8686], nor be raised outH5782[H8735] of their sleepH8142.
[13]O thatH5414[H8799] thou wouldest hideH6845[H8686] me in the graveH7585, that thou wouldest keep me secretH5641[H8686], until thy wrathH639 be pastH7725[H8800], that thou wouldest appointH7896[H8799] me a set timeH2706, and rememberH2142 meH8799!
[14]If a manH1397 dieH4191[H8799], shall he liveH2421[H8799] again? all the daysH3117 of my appointed timeH6635 will I waitH3176[H8762], till my changeH2487 comeH935.[H8800]
[15]Thou shalt callH7121[H8799], and I will answerH6030[H8799] thee: thou wilt have a desireH3700[H8799] to the workH4639 of thine handsH3027.
[16]For now thou numberestH5608[H8799] my stepsH6806: dost thou not watchH8104[H8799] over my sinH2403?
[17]My transgressionH6588 is sealed upH2856[H8803] in a bagH6872, and thou sewest upH2950[H8799] mine iniquityH5771.
[18]And surelyH199 the mountainH2022 fallingH5307[H8802] cometh to noughtH5034[H8799], and the rockH6697 is removedH6275[H8799] out of his placeH4725.
[19]The watersH4325 wearH7833[H8804] the stonesH68: thou washest awayH7857[H8799] the things which growH5599 out of the dustH6083 of the earthH776; and thou destroyestH6[H8689] the hopeH8615 of manH582.
[20]Thou prevailestH8630[H8799] for everH5331 against him, and he passethH1980[H8799]: thou changestH8138[H8764] his countenanceH6440, and sendest him awayH7971.[H8762]
[21]His sonsH1121 come to honourH3513[H8799], and he knowethH3045[H8799] it not; and they are brought lowH6819[H8799], but he perceivethH995 it not of themH8799.
[22]But his fleshH1320 upon him shall have painH3510[H8799], and his soulH5315 within him shall mournH56.[H8799]
