“Man is also disciplined with pain on his bed,
And with unceasing complaint in his bones,



Therefore [continues Isaiah] my loins are filled with anguish;
Pains have seized me like the pains of a woman in childbirth;
I am so bent and bewildered that I cannot hear, I am so terrified that I cannot see.

“But his body [lamenting its decay] grieves in pain over it,
And his soul mourns over [the loss of] himself.”


“My bones are pierced [with aching] in the night season,
And the pains that gnaw me take no rest.



You who have shown me many troubles and distresses
Will revive and renew me again,
And will bring me up again from the depths of the earth.


For all his days his work is painful and sorrowful; even at night his mind does not rest. This too is vanity (worthless).


“But his body [lamenting its decay] grieves in pain over it,
And his soul mourns over [the loss of] himself.”


“For man is born for trouble,
[As naturally] as sparks fly upward.


The cords and sorrows of death encompassed me,
And the terrors of Sheol came upon me;
I found distress and sorrow.


We waited for peace and salvation, but no good came,
And for a time of healing, but behold, terror!



You who have shown me many troubles and distresses
Will revive and renew me again,
And will bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
