V.1 Man 120 [that is] born 3205-7 of a woman 802 [is] of few 7116 days, 3117 and full 7649 of trouble. 7267

14:2 He cometh forth 3318-1 like a flower, 6731 and is cut down: 5243-4 he fleeth 1272-4 also as a shadow, 6738 and continueth 5975-4 not.

14:3 And dost thou open 6491-1 thine eyes 5869 upon such an one, 2088 and bringest 935-55 me into judgment 4941 with thee?

14:4 Who can bring 5414-4 a clean 2889 [thing] out of an unclean? 2931 not one. 259

14:5 Seeing 518 his days 3117 [are] determined, 2782-7 the number 4557 of his months 2320 [are] with thee, thou hast appointed 6213-1 his bounds 2706 that he cannot pass; 5674-4

14:6 Turn 8159-3 from him, that he may rest, 2308-4 till he shall accomplish, 7521-4 as an hireling, 7916 his day. 3117

14:7 For there is 3426 hope 8615 of a tree, 6086 if it be cut down, 3772-11 that it will sprout 2498-55 again, and that the tender branch 3127 thereof will not cease. 2308-4

14:8 Though the root 8328 thereof wax old 2204-55 in the earth, 776 and the stock 1503 thereof die 4191-4 in the ground; 6083

14:9 [Yet] through the scent 7381 of water 4325 it will bud, 6524-55 and bring forth 6213-1 boughs 7105 like a plant. 5194

14:10 But man 1397 dieth, 4191-4 and wasteth away: 2522-4 yea, man 120 giveth up the ghost, 1478-4 and where [is] he?

14:11 [As] the waters 4325 fail 235-1 from the sea, 3220 and the flood 5104 decayeth 2717-4 and drieth up: 3001-1

14:12 So man 376 lieth down, 7901-1 and riseth 6965-4 not: till the heavens 8064 [be] no more, 1115 they shall not awake, 6974-55 nor be raised 5782-11 out of their sleep. 8142

14:13 O that 5414-4 thou wouldest hide 6845-55 me in the grave, 7585 that thou wouldest keep me secret, 5641-55 until thy wrath 639 be past, 7725-2 that thou wouldest appoint 7896-4 me a set time, 2706 and remember 2142-4 me!

14:14 If a man 1397 die, 4191-4 shall he live 2421-4 [again]? all the days 3117 of my appointed time 6635 will I wait, 3176-17 till my change 2487 come. 935-2

14:15 Thou shalt call, 7121-4 and I will answer 6030-4 thee: thou wilt have a desire 3700-4 to the work 4639 of thine hands. 3027

14:16 For now thou numberest 5608-4 my steps: 6806 dost thou not watch 8104-4 over my sin? 2403

14:17 My transgression 6588 [is] sealed up 2856-7 in a bag, 6872 and thou sewest up 2950-4 mine iniquity. 5771

14:18 And surely 199 the mountain 2022 falling 5307-6 cometh to nought, 5034-4 and the rock 6697 is removed 6275-4 out of his place. 4725

14:19 The waters 4325 wear 7833-1 the stones: 68 thou washest away 7857-4 the things which grow 5599 [out] of the dust 6083 of the earth; 776 and thou destroyest 6-52 the hope 8615 of man. 582

14:20 Thou prevailest 8630-4 for ever 5331 against him, and he passeth: 1980-4 thou changest 8138-18 his countenance, 6440 and sendest him away. 7971-17

14:21 His sons 1121 come to honour, 3513-4 and he knoweth 3045-4 [it] not; and they are brought low, 6819-4 but he perceiveth 995-4 [it] not of them.
