1	Man that is born# of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. [few...: Heb. short of days]
			2	He cometh forth# like a flower, and is cut down# : he fleeth# also as a shadow, and continueth# not.
			3	And dost thou open# thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest# me into judgment with thee?
			4	Who can bring# a clean thing out of an unclean? not one. [can...: Heb. will give]
			5	Seeing his days are determined# , the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed# his bounds that he cannot pass# ;
			6	Turn# from him, that he may rest# , till he shall accomplish# , as an hireling, his day. [rest: Heb. cease]
			7	For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down# , that it will sprout again# , and that the tender branch thereof will not cease# .
			8	Though the root thereof wax old# in the earth, and the stock thereof die# in the ground;
			9	Yet through the scent of water it will bud# , and bring forth# boughs like a plant.
			10	But man dieth# , and wasteth away# : yea, man giveth up the ghost# , and where is he? [wasteth...: Heb. is weakened, or, cut off]
			11	As the waters fail# from the sea, and the flood decayeth# and drieth up# :
			12	So man lieth down# , and riseth# not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake# , nor be raised out# of their sleep.
			13	O that# thou wouldest hide# me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret# , until thy wrath be past# , that thou wouldest appoint# me a set time, and remember# me!
			14	If a man die# , shall he live# again ? all the days of my appointed time will I wait# , till my change come# .
			15	Thou shalt call# , and I will answer# thee: thou wilt have a desire# to the work of thine hands.
			16	For now thou numberest# my steps: dost thou not watch# over my sin?
			17	My transgression is sealed up# in a bag, and thou sewest up# mine iniquity.
			18	And surely the mountain falling# cometh to nought# , and the rock is removed# out of his place. [cometh...: Heb. fadeth]
			19	The waters wear# the stones: thou washest away# the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest# the hope of man. [washest...: Heb. overflowest]
			20	Thou prevailest# for ever against him, and he passeth# : thou changest# his countenance, and sendest him away# .
			21	His sons come to honour# , and he knoweth# it not; and they are brought low# , but he perceiveth# it not of them.
			22	But his flesh upon him shall have pain# , and his soul within him shall mourn# .
