1Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.⇆ compare2He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.⇆ compare3And dost thou open thine eyes upon such a one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?⇆ compare4Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.⇆ compare5Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;⇆ compare6Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day.⇆ compare7For 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.⇆ compare8Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;⇆ compare9Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.⇆ compare10But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?⇆ compare11As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:⇆ compare12So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.⇆ compare13O 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!⇆ compare14If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.⇆ compare15Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.⇆ compare16For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?⇆ compare17My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity.⇆ compare18And surely the mountain falling cometh to naught, and the rock is removed out of his place.⇆ compare19The 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.⇆ compare20Thou prevailest forever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.⇆ compare21His sons come to honor, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.⇆ compare22But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.⇆ compare
