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]  .
