14 Anyone born of woman
is short of days and full of trouble.^(A)
2 He blossoms like a flower, then withers;^(B)
he flees like a shadow and does not last.

¹⁵ As for man, his days are like grass—
he blooms like a flower of the field;^(A)
16 when the wind passes over it, it vanishes,
and its place is no longer known.^[a](B)
