1 H120 Man H3205 that is born [H8803] H802 of a woman H7116 is of few H3117 days H7649 , and full H7267 of trouble. 2 H3318 He cometh forth [H8804] H6731 like a flower H5243 , and is cut down [H8799] H1272 : he fleeth [H8799] H6738 also as a shadow H5975 , and continueth [H8799] not. 3 H6491 And dost thou open [H8804] H5869 thine eyes H2088 upon such an one H935 , and bringest [H8686] H4941 me into judgment with thee? 4 H5414 Who can bring [H8799] H2889 a clean H2931 thing out of an unclean H259 ? not one. 5 H518 Seeing H3117 his days H2782 are determined [H8803] H4557 , the number H2320 of his months H6213 are with thee, thou hast appointed [H8804] H2706 his bounds H5674 that he cannot pass [H8799] ; 6 H8159 Turn [H8798] H2308 from him, that he may rest [H8799] H7521 , till he shall accomplish [H8799] H7916 , as an hireling H3117 , his day. 7 H3426 For there is H8615 hope H6086 of a tree H3772 , if it be cut down [H8735] H2498 , that it will sprout again [H8686] H3127 , and that the tender branch H2308 thereof will not cease [H8799] . 8 H8328 Though the root H2204 thereof wax old [H8686] H776 in the earth H1503 , and the stock H4191 thereof die [H8799] H6083 in the ground; 9 H7381 Yet through the scent H4325 of water H6524 it will bud [H8686] H6213 , and bring forth [H8804] H7105 boughs H5194 like a plant. 10 H1397 But man H4191 dieth [H8799] H2522 , and wasteth away [H8799] H120 : yea, man H1478 giveth up the ghost [H8799] , and where is he? 11 H4325 As the waters H235 fail [H8804] H3220 from the sea H5104 , and the flood H2717 decayeth [H8799] H3001 and drieth up [H8804] : 12 H376 So man H7901 lieth down [H8804] H6965 , and riseth [H8799] H8064 not: till the heavens H1115 be no more H6974 , they shall not awake [H8686] H5782 , nor be raised out [H8735] H8142 of their sleep. 13 H5414 O that [H8799] H6845 thou wouldest hide [H8686] H7585 me in the grave H5641 , that thou wouldest keep me secret [H8686] H639 , until thy wrath H7725 be past [H8800] H7896 , that thou wouldest appoint [H8799] H2706 me a set time H2142 , and remember [H8799] me! 14 H1397 If a man H4191 die [H8799] H2421 , shall he live [H8799] H3117 again ? all the days H6635 of my appointed time H3176 will I wait [H8762] H2487 , till my change H935 come [H8800] . 15 H7121 Thou shalt call [H8799] H6030 , and I will answer [H8799] H3700 thee: thou wilt have a desire [H8799] H4639 to the work H3027 of thine hands. 16 H5608 For now thou numberest [H8799] H6806 my steps H8104 : dost thou not watch [H8799] H2403 over my sin? 17 H6588 My transgression H2856 is sealed up [H8803] H6872 in a bag H2950 , and thou sewest up [H8799] H5771 mine iniquity. 18 H199 And surely H2022 the mountain H5307 falling [H8802] H5034 cometh to nought [H8799] H6697 , and the rock H6275 is removed [H8799] H4725 out of his place. 19 H4325 The waters H7833 wear [H8804] H68 the stones H7857 : thou washest away [H8799] H5599 the things which grow H6083 out of the dust H776 of the earth H6 ; and thou destroyest [H8689] H8615 the hope H582 of man. 20 H8630 Thou prevailest [H8799] H5331 for ever H1980 against him, and he passeth [H8799] H8138 : thou changest [H8764] H6440 his countenance H7971 , and sendest him away [H8762] . 21 H1121 His sons H3513 come to honour [H8799] H3045 , and he knoweth [H8799] H6819 it not; and they are brought low [H8799] H995 , but he perceiveth [H8799] it not of them. 22 H1320 But his flesh H3510 upon him shall have pain [H8799] H5315 , and his soul H56 within him shall mourn [H8799] . |
