1“1ManH120, who is bornH3205 of womanH802, Is 2short-livedH7116H3117 and 3fullH7649 of turmoilH7267.24Like a flowerH6731 he comesH3318 forthH3318 and withersH4448. He also fleesH1272 like 5a shadowH6738 and does not remainH5975.3You alsoH637 6openH6491 Your eyesH5869 on him And 7bringH935 8him into judgmentH4941 with Yourself.49WhoH4310 can makeH5414 the cleanH2889 out of the uncleanH2931? NoH3808 oneH259!5SinceH518 his daysH3117 are determinedH2782, The 10numberH4557 of his monthsH2320 is with You; And his limitsH2706 You have 11setH6213 so that he cannotH3808 passH5674.612TurnH8159 Your gazeH8159 from him that he may 13restH2308, UntilH5704 he 14fulfillsH7521 his dayH3117 like a hiredH7916 manH7916.
7“For thereH3426 is hopeH8615 for a treeH6086, WhenH518 it is cutH3772 downH3772, that it will sproutH2498 againH5750, And its shootsH3127 will not 15failH2308.8ThoughH518 its rootsH8328 growH2204 oldH2204 in the groundH776 And its stumpH1503 diesH4191 in the dryH6083 soilH6083,9At the scentH7381 of waterH4325 it will flourishH6524 And putH6213 forthH6213 sprigsH7105 likeH3644 a plantH5194.10But 16manH1397 diesH4191 and liesH2522 prostrateH2522. ManH120 17expiresH1478, and whereH335 is he?
