1 “Man, who is born of a woman,is of few days, and full of trouble.
2 He grows up like a flower, and is cut down.He also flees like a shadow, and doesn’t continue.
3 Do you open your eyes on such a one,and bring me into judgment with you?
4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?Not one.
5 Seeing his days are determined,the number of his months is with you,and you have appointed his bounds that he can’t pass;
6 Look away from him, that he may rest,until he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day.
7 “For there is hope for a tree,If it is cut down, that it will sprout again,that the tender branch of it will not cease.
