1 Man being born of woman is short of days and full of disquiet. 2 And as a flower he will come forth, and will be cut down: and he will flee as a shadow, and shall not stand. 3 Also upon this one didst thou open thine eyes? and wilt thou bring Me into judgment with thee? 4 For who shall give a clean thing from an unclean? Not one. 5 If his days are determined, the number of his months with thee; thou madest his limit; he shall not pass over. 6 Look away from him and be shall cease, till he shall delight as an hireling in his day. 7 For there is hope for a tree if it shall be cut down, and it shall yet revive, and its suckers shall not cease. 8 If its root shall grow old in the earth, and its trunk shall die in the dust. 9 From the smell of water it will break forth, and make foliage as a plant.
