1 “Man born of woman is of few days and turmoil-filled.
2 He comes forth like a flower and withers. He flees like a shadow and does not continue.
3 Yet on such a one You open Your eyes, and bring me to right-ruling with Yourself!
4 Who brings the clean out of the unclean? No one!
5 Since his days are decided, the number of his months is with You, You have appointed his bounds which he does not pass over.
6 Look away from him and let him rest, till like a hired man he enjoys his day.
7 For there is expectancy for a tree, if it is cut down, that it does sprout again, and that its tender branch does not cease.
