ManH120 that is bornH3205 of a womanH802 is of fewH7116 daysH3117, and fullH7649 of troubleH7267. {few…: Heb. short of days}
He cometh forthH3318 like a flowerH6731, and is cut downH5243: he fleethH1272 also as a shadowH6738, and continuethH5975 not.
And dost thou openH6491 thine eyesH5869 upon such an oneH2088, and bringestH935 me into judgmentH4941 with thee?
Who can bringH5414 a cleanH2889 thing out of an uncleanH2931? not oneH259. {can…: Heb. will give}
SeeingH518 his daysH3117 are determinedH2782, the numberH4557 of his monthsH2320 are with thee, thou hast appointedH6213 his boundsH2706 that he cannot passH5674;
TurnH8159 from him, that he may restH2308, till he shall accomplishH7521, as an hirelingH7916, his dayH3117. {rest: Heb. cease}
For there isH3426 hopeH8615 of a treeH6086, if it be cut downH3772, that it will sprout againH2498, and that the tender branchH3127 thereof will not ceaseH2308.
Though the rootH8328 thereof wax oldH2204 in the earthH776, and the stockH1503 thereof dieH4191 in the groundH6083;
Yet through the scentH7381 of waterH4325 it will budH6524, and bring forthH6213 boughsH7105 like a plantH5194.
But manH1397 diethH4191, and wasteth awayH2522: yea, manH120 giveth up the ghostH1478, and where is he? {wasteth…: Heb. is weakened, or, cut off}
As the watersH4325 failH235 from the seaH3220, and the floodH5104 decayethH2717 and drieth upH3001:
So manH376 lieth downH7901, and risethH6965 not: till the heavensH8064 be no moreH1115, they shall not awakeH6974, nor be raised outH5782 of their sleepH8142.
O thatH5414 thou wouldest hideH6845 me in the graveH7585, that thou wouldest keep me secretH5641, until thy wrathH639 be pastH7725, that thou wouldest appointH7896 me a set timeH2706, and rememberH2142 me!
If a manH1397 dieH4191, shall he liveH2421 again? all the daysH3117 of my appointed timeH6635 will I waitH3176, till my changeH2487 comeH935.
Thou shalt callH7121, and I will answerH6030 thee: thou wilt have a desireH3700 to the workH4639 of thine handsH3027.
For now thou numberestH5608 my stepsH6806: dost thou not watchH8104 over my sinH2403?
My transgressionH6588 is sealed upH2856 in a bagH6872, and thou sewest upH2950 mine iniquityH5771.
And surelyH199 the mountainH2022 fallingH5307 cometh to noughtH5034, and the rockH6697 is removedH6275 out of his placeH4725. {cometh…: Heb. fadeth}
The watersH4325 wearH7833 the stonesH68: thou washest awayH7857 the things which growH5599 out of the dustH6083 of the earthH776; and thou destroyestH6 the hopeH8615 of manH582. {washest…: Heb. overflowest}
Thou prevailestH8630 for everH5331 against him, and he passethH1980: thou changestH8138 his countenanceH6440, and sendest him awayH7971.
His sonsH1121 come to honourH3513, and he knowethH3045 it not; and they are brought lowH6819, but he perceivethH995 it not of them.
But his fleshH1320 upon him shall have painH3510, and his soulH5315 within him shall mournH56.

Thou puttestH7760 my feetH7272 also in the stocksH5465, and lookest narrowlyH8104 unto all my pathsH734; thou settest a printH2707 upon the heelsH8328 of my feetH7272. {lookest…: Heb. observest} {heels: Heb. roots}
