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] ManH120 [that is] bornH3205(QalPasPtc) of a womanH802 [is] of fewH7116 days,H3117 and fullH7649 of trouble.H7267 [2] He cometh forthH3318(QalPerf) like a flower,H6731 and is cut down:H5243(QalImpf) he fleethH1272(QalImpf) also as a shadow,H6738 and continuethH5975(QalImpf) not. [3] And dost thou openH6491(QalPerf) thine eyesH5869 upon such an one,H2088 and bringestH935(HiphImpf) me into judgmentH4941 with thee? [4] Who can bringH5414(QalImpf) a cleanH2889 [thing] out of an unclean?H2931 not one.H259 [5] SeeingH518 his daysH3117 [are] determined,H2782(QalPasPtc) the numberH4557 of his monthsH2320 [are] with thee, thou hast appointedH6213(QalPerf) his boundsH2706 that he cannot pass;H5674(QalImpf) [6] TurnH8159(QalImpv) from him, that he may rest,H2308(QalImpf) till he shall accomplish,H7521(QalImpf) as an hireling,H7916 his day.H3117 [7] For there isH3426 hopeH8615 of a tree,H6086 if it be cut down,H3772(NiphImpf) that it will sprout again,H2498(HiphImpf) and that the tender branchH3127 thereof will not cease.H2308(QalImpf) [8] Though the rootH8328 thereof wax oldH2204(HiphImpf) in the earth,H776 and the stockH1503 thereof dieH4191(QalImpf) in the ground;H6083 [9] [Yet] through the scentH7381 of waterH4325 it will bud,H6524(HiphImpf) and bring forthH6213(QalPerf) boughsH7105 like a plant.H5194 [10] But manH1397 dieth,H4191(QalImpf) and wasteth away:H2522(QalImpf) yea, manH120 giveth up the ghost,H1478(QalImpf) and where [is] he? [11] [As] the watersH4325 failH235(QalPerf) from the sea,H3220 and the floodH5104 decayethH2717(QalImpf) and drieth up:H3001(QalPerf) [12] So manH376 lieth down,H7901(QalPerf) and risethH6965(QalImpf) not: till the heavensH8064 [be] no more,H1115 they shall not awake,H6974(HiphImpf) nor be raised outH5782(NiphImpf) of their sleep.H8142 [13] O thatH5414(QalImpf) thou wouldest hideH6845(HiphImpf) me in the grave,H7585 that thou wouldest keep me secret,H5641(HiphImpf) until thy wrathH639 be past,H7725(QalInf) that thou wouldest appointH7896(QalImpf) me a set time,H2706 and rememberH2142(QalImpf) me! [14] If a manH1397 die,H4191(QalImpf) shall he liveH2421(QalImpf) [again]? all the daysH3117 of my appointed timeH6635 will I wait,H3176(PielImpf) till my changeH2487 come.H935(QalInf) [15] Thou shalt call,H7121(QalImpf) and I will answerH6030(QalImpf) thee: thou wilt have a desireH3700(QalImpf) to the workH4639 of thine hands.H3027 [16] For now thou numberestH5608(QalImpf) my steps:H6806 dost thou not watchH8104(QalImpf) over my sin?H2403 [17] My transgressionH6588 [is] sealed upH2856(QalPasPtc) in a bag,H6872 and thou sewest upH2950(QalImpf) mine iniquity.H5771 [18] And surelyH199 the mountainH2022 fallingH5307(QalActPtc) cometh to nought,H5034(QalImpf) and the rockH6697 is removedH6275(QalImpf) out of his place.H4725 [19] The watersH4325 wearH7833(QalPerf) the stones:H68 thou washest awayH7857(QalImpf) the things which growH5599 [out] of the dustH6083 of the earth;H776 and thou destroyestH6(HiphPerf) the hopeH8615 of man.H582 [20] Thou prevailestH8630(QalImpf) for everH5331 against him, and he passeth:H1980(QalImpf) thou changestH8138(PielPtc) his countenance,H6440 and sendest him away.H7971(PielImpf) [21] His sonsH1121 come to honour,H3513(QalImpf) and he knowethH3045(QalImpf) [it] not; and they are brought low,H6819(QalImpf) but he perceivethH995(QalImpf) [it] not of them. [22] But his fleshH1320 upon him shall have pain,H3510(QalImpf) and his soulH5315 within him shall mourn.H56(QalImpf)
