- 1. Man, born of woman! Of few days, and full of trouble!
- 2. As a flower he hath gone forth, and is cut off, And he fleeth as a shadow and standeth not.
- 3. Also -- on this Thou hast opened Thine eyes, And dost bring me into judgment with Thee.
- 4. Who giveth a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
- 5. If determined are his days, The number of his months `are' with Thee, His limit Thou hast made, And he passeth not over;
- 6. Look away from off him that he may cease, Till he enjoy as an hireling his day.
- 7. For there is of a tree hope, if it be cut down, That again it doth change, That its tender branch doth not cease.
- 8. If its root becometh old in the earth, And its stem doth die in the dust,
- 9. From the fragrance of water it doth flourish, And hath made a crop as a plant.
- 10. And a man dieth, and becometh weak, And man expireth, and where `is' he?
- 11. Waters have gone away from a sea, And a river becometh waste and dry.
- 12. And man hath lain down, and riseth not, Till the wearing out of the heavens they awake not, Nor are roused from their sleep.
- 13. O that in Sheol Thou wouldst conceal me, Hide me till the turning of Thine anger, Set for me a limit, and remember me.
- 14. If a man dieth -- doth he revive? All days of my warfare I wait, till my change come.
- 15. Thou dost call, and I -- I answer Thee; To the work of Thy hands Thou hast desire.
- 16. But now, my steps Thou numberest, Thou dost not watch over my sin.
- 17. Sealed up in a bag `is' my transgression, And Thou sewest up mine iniquity.
- 18. And yet, a falling mountain wasteth away, And a rock is removed from its place.
- 19. Stones have waters worn away, Their outpourings wash away the dust of earth, And the hope of man Thou hast destroyed.
- 20. Thou prevailest `over' him for ever, and he goeth, He is changing his countenance, And Thou sendest him away.
- 21. Honoured are his sons, and he knoweth not; And they are little, and he attendeth not to them.
- 22. Only -- his flesh for him is pained, And his soul for him doth mourn.'
