14 “Man who is ^(A)born of a woman
    is ^(B)few of days and ^(C)full of trouble.

⁷ but man is ^(A)born to trouble
    as the sparks fly upward.

⁴ How then can man be ^(A)in the right before God?
    How can he who is ^(B)born of woman be ^(C)pure?

7 “Has not man ^(A)a hard service on earth,
    and are not his ^(B)days like the days of a hired hand?

⁵ Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths,
    and ^(A)my lifetime is as nothing before you.
Surely ^(B)all mankind stands as a mere breath! Selah

^14 (A)What is man, ^(B)that he can be pure?
    Or he who is ^(C)born of a woman, that he can be righteous?
