1 ‘Mortals, born of woman,are of few days and full of trouble.
2 They spring up like flowers and wither away;like fleeting shadows, they do not endure.
3 Do you fix your eye on them?Will you bring them before you for judgment?
4 Who can bring what is pure from the impure?No one!
5 A person’s days are determined;you have decreed the number of his monthsand have set limits he cannot exceed.
