But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where {is} he? {wasteth...: Heb. is weakened, or, cut off}

{As} the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no {more}.

Seeing his days {are} determined, the number of his months {are} with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;

If a man die, shall he live {again}? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.

Also {when} they shall be afraid of {that which is} high, and fears {shall be} in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:

Before I go {whence} I shall not return, {even} to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;

My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.

{As} the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no {more}.

They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding {it}. {destroyed: Heb. beaten in pieces}

I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and shew thyself a man;
