## đź“ś Scripture Text (NET)
(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
### The Brevity of Life
[[#Verse 01.]] “Man, born of woman,
lives but a few days, and they are full of trouble.
[[#Verse 02.]] He grows up like a flower and then withers away;
he flees like a shadow, and does not remain.
[[#Verse 03.]] Do you fix your eye on such a one?
And do you bring me before you for judgment?
[[#Verse 04.]] Who can make a clean thing come from an unclean?
No one!
[[#Verse 05.]] Since man’s days are determined,
the number of his months is under your control;
you have set his limit and he cannot pass it.
[[#Verse 06.]]Â Look away from him and let him desist,
until he fulfills his time like a hired man.
### The Inevitability of Death
[[#Verse 07.]] “But there is hope for a tree:
If it is cut down, it will sprout again,
and its new shoots will not fail.
[[#Verse 08.]] Although its roots may grow old in the ground
and its stump begins to die in the soil,
[[#Verse 09.]] at the scent of water it will flourish
and put forth shoots like a new plant.
[[#Verse 10.]] But man dies and is powerless;
he expires—and where is he?
[[#Verse 11.]] As water disappears from the sea,
or a river drains away and dries up,
[[#Verse 12.]]Â so man lies down and does not rise;
until the heavens are no more,
they will not awake
nor arise from their sleep.
### The Possibility of Another Life
[[#Verse 13.]] “O that you would hide me in Sheol,
and conceal me till your anger has passed!
O that you would set me a time
and then remember me!
[[#Verse 14.]]Â If a man dies, will he live again?
All the days of my hard service I will wait
until my release comes.
[[#Verse 15.]] You will call and I—I will answer you;
you will long for the creature you have made.
### The Present Condition
[[#Verse 16.]] “Surely now you count my steps;
then you would not mark my sin.
[[#Verse 17.]] My offenses would be sealed up in a bag;
you would cover over my sin.
[[#Verse 18.]] But as a mountain falls away and crumbles,
and as a rock will be removed from its place,
[[#Verse 19.]]Â as water wears away stones,
and torrents wash away the soil,
so you destroy man’s hope.
[[#Verse 20.]]Â You overpower him once for all,
and he departs;
you change his appearance
and send him away.
[[#Verse 21.]] If his sons are honored,
he does not know it;
if they are brought low,
he does not see it.
[[#Verse 22.]]Â His flesh only has pain for him,
and he mourns for himself.”
