³ Jehovah, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?

⁴ What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him?

⁶ But one hath somewhere testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? Or the son of man, that thou visitest him?

¹⁷ What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him, And that thou shouldest set thy mind upon him,

¹⁴ What is man, that he should be clean? And he that is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

³ Put not your trust in princes, Nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

⁴ His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; In that very day his thoughts perish.
