- “Man, who is born of a woman,
is of few days, and full of trouble. - He comes forth like a flower, and is cut down.
He also flees like a shadow, and doesn’t continue. - Do you open your eyes on such a one,
and bring me into judgment with you? - Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?
Not one. - Seeing his days are determined,
the number of his months is with you, and you have appointed his bounds that he can’t pass; - Look away from him, that he may rest,
until he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day. - “For there is hope for a tree,
If it is cut down, that it will sprout again, that the tender branch of it will not cease. - Though its root grows old in the earth,
and its stock dies in the ground, - yet through the scent of water it will bud,
and put forth boughs like a plant. - But man dies, and is laid low.
Yes, man gives up the spirit, and where is he? - As the waters fail from the sea,
and the river wastes and dries up, - so man lies down and doesn’t rise.
Until the heavens are no more, they shall not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep. - “Oh that you would hide me in Sheol[1],
that you would keep me secret, until your wrath is past, that you would appoint me a set time, and remember me! - If a man dies, shall he live again?
All the days of my warfare would I wait, until my release should come. - You would call, and I would answer you.
You would have a desire to the work of your hands. - But now you number my steps.
Don’t you watch over my sin? - My disobedience is sealed up in a bag.
You fasten up my iniquity. - “But the mountain falling comes to nothing.
The rock is removed out of its place; - The waters wear the stones.
The torrents of it wash away the dust of the earth. So you destroy the hope of man. - You forever prevail against him, and he departs.
You change his face, and send him away. - His sons come to honor, and he doesn’t know it.
They are brought low, but he doesn’t perceive it of them. - But his flesh on him has pain,
and his soul within him mourns.”
