\c 14
|

\m
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 1 Man, who is born of woman,
|
|
\q lives only a few days and is full of trouble.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 2 He sprouts from the ground like a flower and is cut down;
|
|
\q he flees like a shadow and does not last.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 3 Do you look at any of these?
|
|
\q Do you bring me into judgment with you?
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 Who can bring something clean out of something unclean? No one.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 5 Man's days are determined.
|
|
\q The number of his months is with you;
|
|
\q you have appointed his limits that he cannot pass.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 6 Look away from him that he may rest,
|
|
\q so that he may enjoy his day like a hired man if he can do so.
|
|
\m
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 7 There can be hope for a tree;
|
|
\q if it is cut down, it might sprout again,
|
|
\q so that its tender stalk does not disappear.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 8 Though its root grows old in the earth,
|
|
\q and its stump dies in the ground,
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 yet even if it only smells water, it will bud
|
|
\q and send out branches like a plant.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 10 But man dies; he becomes weak;
|
|
\q indeed, man stops breathing, and then where is he?
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 11 As water disappears from a lake,
|
|
\q and as a river loses water and dries up,
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 12 so people lie down and do not rise again.
|
|
\q Until the heavens are no more, they will not awake
|
|
\q nor be roused out of their sleep.
|
|
\m
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 13 Oh, that you would hide me away in Sheol away from troubles,
|
|
\q and that you would keep me in private until your wrath is over,
|
|
\q that you would set me a fixed time to stay there and then call me to mind!
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 14 If a man dies, will he live again?
|
|
\q If so, I would wish to wait all my weary time there
|
|
\q until my release should come.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 15 You would call, and I would answer you.
|
|
\q You would have a desire for the work of your hands.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 16 You would number and care for my footsteps;
|
|
\q you would not keep track of my sin.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 17 My transgression would be sealed up in a bag;
|
|
\q you would cover up my iniquity.
|
|
\m
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 18 But even mountains fall and come to nothing;
|
|
\q even rocks are moved out of their place;
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 19 the waters wear down the stones;
|
|
\q their flooding washes away the dust of the earth.
|
|
\q Like this, you destroy the hope of man.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 20 You always defeat him, and he passes away;
|
|
\q you change his face and send him away to die.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 21 If his sons are honored, he does not know it;
|
|
\q and if they are brought low, he does not see it.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 22 He feels only the pain of his own body,
|
|
\q and he mourns for himself.
