141Man
that is born of a woman
is of few days, and full of trouble.+2He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.+3And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?+4Who can bring a clean
thing out of an unclean? not one.+5Seeing his days
are determined, the number of his months
are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;+6Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day.+7For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.+8Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;+9Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.+10But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where
is he?+11As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:+12So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens
be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.+13Oh that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!+14If a man die, shall he live
again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.+15Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.+16For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?+17My transgression
is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity.+18And surely the mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of his place.+19The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the things which grow
out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.+20Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.+21His sons come to honour, and he knoweth
it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth
it not of them.+22But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.+
