World English Bible Classic
[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 accomplishes, 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.
[8] Though its root grows old in the earth,
and its stock dies in the ground,
[9] yet through the scent of water it will bud,
and sprout boughs like a plant.
[10] But man dies, and is laid low.
Yes, man gives up the spirit, and where is he?
[11] As the waters fail from the sea,
and the river wastes and dries up,
[12] so man lies down and doesn’t rise.
Until the heavens are no more, they will not awake,
nor be roused out of their sleep. [13] “Oh that you would hide me in Sheol,ⓘ
that you would keep me secret until your wrath is past,
that you would appoint me a set time and remember me!
[14] If a man dies, will he live again?
I would wait all the days of my warfare,
until my release should come.
[15] You would call, and I would answer you.
You would have a desire for the work of your hands.
[16] But now you count my steps.
Don’t you watch over my sin?
[17] My disobedience is sealed up in a bag.
You fasten up my iniquity. [18] “But the mountain falling comes to nothing.
The rock is removed out of its place.
[19] The waters wear the stones.
The torrents of it wash away the dust of the earth.
So you destroy the hope of man.
[20] You forever prevail against him, and he departs.
You change his face, and send him away.
[21] His sons come to honor, and he doesn’t know it.
They are brought low, but he doesn’t perceive it of them.
[22] But his flesh on him has pain,
and his soul within him mourns.”

King James Version
[1] Man H120 that is born H3205 of a woman H802
Is of few H7116 days, H3117§ and full H7649 of trouble. H7267
[2] He cometh forth H3318 like a flower, H6731 and is cut down: H5243
He fleeth H1272 also as a shadow, H6738 and continueth H5975 not.
[3] And dost thou open H6491 thine eyes H5869 upon H5921 such an one, H2088
And bringest H935 me into judgment H4941 with thee?
[4] Who can bring H5414§ a clean H2889 thing out of an unclean? H2931
Not H3808 one. H259
[5] Seeing H518 his days H3117 are determined, H2782 the number H4557 of his months H2320 are with thee,
Thou hast appointed H6213 his bounds H2706 that he cannot pass; H5674
[6] Turn H8159 from him, that he may rest, H2308§
Till H5704 he shall accomplish, H7521 as an hireling, H7916 his day. H3117
[7] For H3588 there is H3426 hope H8615 of a tree, H6086
If it be cut down, H3772 that it will sprout again, H2498
And that the tender branch H3127 thereof will not cease. H2308
[8] Though the root H8328 thereof wax old H2204 in the earth, H776
And the stock H1503 thereof die H4191 in the ground; H6083
[9] Yet through the scent H7381 of water H4325 it will bud, H6524
And bring forth H6213 boughs H7105 like a plant. H5194
[10] But man H1397 dieth, H4191 and wasteth away: H2522§
Yea, man H120 giveth up the ghost, H1478 and where is he?
[11] As the waters H4325 fail H235 from H4480 the sea, H3220
And the flood H5104 decayeth H2717 and drieth up: H3001
[12] So man H376 lieth down, H7901 and riseth H6965 not:
Till the heavens H8064 be no more, H1115 they shall H6974 not H3808 awake, H6974
Nor be raised out H5782 of their sleep. H8142
[13] O that H5414 thou wouldest hide H6845 me in the grave, H7585
That thou wouldest keep me secret, H5641 until H5704 thy wrath H639 be past, H7725
That thou wouldest appoint H7896 me a set time, H2706 and remember H2142 me!
[14] If a man H1397 die, H4191 shall he live H2421 again?
All the days H3117 of my appointed time H6635 will I wait, H3176
Till H5704 my change H2487 come. H935
[15] Thou shalt call, H7121 and I will answer H6030 thee:
Thou wilt have a desire H3700 to the work H4639 of thine hands. H3027
[16] For H3588 now H6258 thou numberest H5608 my steps: H6806
Dost thou not watch H8104 over H5921 my sin? H2403
[17] My transgression H6588 is sealed up H2856 in a bag, H6872
And thou sewest up H2950 mine iniquity. H5771
[18] And surely H199 the mountain H2022 falling H5307 cometh§ to nought, H5034
And the rock H6697 is removed H6275 out of his place. H4725
[19] The waters H4325 wear H7833 the stones: H68
Thou washest away H7857§ the things which grow H5599 out of the dust H6083 of the earth; H776
And thou destroyest H6 the hope H8615 of man. H582
[20] Thou prevailest H8630 for ever H5331 against him, and he passeth: H1980
Thou changest H8138 his countenance, H6440 and sendest him away. H7971
[21] His sons H1121 come to honour, H3513 and he knoweth H3045 it not;
And they are brought low, H6819 but he perceiveth H995 it not of them.
[22] But his flesh H1320 upon H5921 him shall have pain, H3510
And his soul H5315 within him shall mourn. H56

[1] Βροτὸς γὰρ G1063 γεννητὸς G1084 γυναικὸς G1135 ὀλιγόβιος καὶ G2532 πλήρης G4134 ὀργῆς G3709 [2] ἢ G2228 ὥσπερ G5618 ἄνθος G438 ἀνθῆσαν ἐξέπεσεν, G1601 ἀπέδρα δὲ G1161 ὥσπερ G5618 σκιὰ G4639 καὶ G2532 οὐ G3756 μὴ G3361 στῇ. G2476 [3] Οὐχὶ G3780 καὶ G2532 τούτου G5127 λόγον G3056 ἐποιήσω G4160 καὶ G2532 τοῦτον G5126 ἐποίησας G4160 εἰσελθεῖν G1525 ἐν G1722 κρίματι G2917 ἐνώπιόν G1799 σου; G4675 [4] Τίς G5101 γὰρ G1063 καθαρὸς G2513 ἔσται G2071 ἀπὸ G575 ῥύπου; G4509 Ἀλλ’ G235 οὐθείς. G3762 [5] Ἐὰν G1437 καὶ G2532 μία G3391 ἡμέρα G2250 ὁ G3588 βίος G979 αὐτοῦ G846 ἐπὶ G1909 τῆς G3588 γῆς, G1093 ἀριθμητοὶ δὲ G1161 μῆνες G3376 αὐτοῦ G846 παρὰ G3844 σοί, G4671 εἰς G1519 χρόνον G5550 ἔθου, G5087 καὶ G2532 οὐ G3756 μὴ G3361 ὑπερβῇ. G5233 [6] Ἀπόστα G868 ἀπ’ G575 αὐτοῦ, G846 ἵνα G2443 ἡσυχάσῃ G2270 καὶ G2532 εὐδοκήσῃ G2106 τὸν G3588 βίον G979 ὥσπερ G5618 ὁ G3588 μισθωτός. G3411 [7] Ἔστιν G2076 γὰρ G1063 δένδρῳ G1186 ἐλπίς· G1680 ἐὰν G1437 γὰρ G1063 ἐκκοπῇ, G1581 ἔτι G2089 ἐπανθήσει, καὶ G2532 ὁ G3588 ῥάδαμνος αὐτοῦ G846 οὐ G3756 μὴ G3361 ἐκλίπῃ· G1587 [8] ἐὰν G1437 γὰρ G1063 γηράσῃ G1095 ἐν G1722 γῇ G1093 ἡ G3588 ῥίζα G4491 αὐτοῦ, G846 ἐν G1722 δὲ G1161 πέτρᾳ G4073 τελευτήσῃ G5053 τὸ G3588 στέλεχος αὐτοῦ, G846 [9] ἀπὸ G575 ὀσμῆς G3744 ὕδατος G5204 ἀνθήσει, ποιήσει G4160 δὲ G1161 θερισμὸν G2326 ὥσπερ G5618 νεόφυτον. G3504 [10] Ἀνὴρ G435 δὲ G1161 τελευτήσας G5053 ᾤχετο, πεσὼν G4098 δὲ G1161 βροτὸς οὐκέτι G3765 ἔστιν. G2076 [11] Χρόνῳ G5550 γὰρ G1063 σπανίζεται θάλασσα, G2281 ποταμὸς G4215 δὲ G1161 ἐρημωθεὶς G2049 ἐξηράνθη· G3583 [12] ἄνθρωπος G444 δὲ G1161 κοιμηθεὶς G2837 οὐ G3756 μὴ G3361 ἀναστῇ, G450 ἕως G2193 ἂν G302 ὁ G3588 οὐρανὸς G3772 οὐ G3756 μὴ G3361 συρραφῇ· καὶ G2532 οὐκ G3756 ἐξυπνισθήσονται G1852 ἐξ G1537 ὕπνου G5258 αὐτῶν. G846 [13] Εἰ G1487 γὰρ G1063 ὄφελον G3785 ἐν G1722 ᾅδῃ G86 με G3165 ἐφύλαξας, G5442 ἔκρυψας G2928 δέ G1161 με, G3165 ἕως G2193 ἂν G302 παύσηταί G3973 σου G4675 ἡ G3588 ὀργὴ G3709 καὶ G2532 τάξῃ G5021 μοι G3427 χρόνον, G5550 ἐν G1722 ᾧ G3739 μνείαν G3417 μου G3450 ποιήσῃ. G4160 [14] Ἐὰν G1437 γὰρ G1063 ἀποθάνῃ G599 ἄνθρωπος, G444 ζήσεται G2198 συντελέσας G4931 ἡμέρας G2250 τοῦ G3588 βίου G979 αὐτοῦ· G846 ὑπομενῶ, G5278 ἕως G2193 ἂν G302 πάλιν G3825 γένωμαι. G1096 [15] Εἶτα G1534 καλέσεις, G2564 ἐγὼ G1473 δέ G1161 σοι G4671 ὑπακούσομαι, G5219 τὰ G3588 δὲ G1161 ἔργα G2041 τῶν G3588 χειρῶν G5495 σου G4675 μὴ G3361 ἀποποιοῦ. [16] Ἠρίθμησας G705 δέ G1161 μου G3450 τὰ G3588 ἐπιτηδεύματα, καὶ G2532 οὐ G3756 μὴ G3361 παρέλθῃ G3928 σε G4571 οὐδὲν G3762 τῶν G3588 ἁμαρτιῶν G266 μου· G3450 [17] ἐσφράγισας G4972 δέ G1161 μου G3450 τὰς G3588 ἀνομίας G458 ἐν G1722 βαλλαντίῳ, G905 ἐπεσημήνω δέ, G1161 εἴ G1487 τι G5100 ἄκων G210 παρέβην.
