Job 14

  1. Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. 🔗
  2. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not. 🔗
  3. And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee? 🔗
  4. Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one. 🔗
  5. Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass; 🔗
  6. Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day. 🔗
  7. For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease. 🔗
  8. Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground; 🔗
  9. Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant. 🔗
  10. But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he? 🔗
  11. As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up: 🔗
  12. So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep. 🔗
  13. O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! 🔗
  14. If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. 🔗
  15. Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands. 🔗
  16. For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin? 🔗
  17. My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity. 🔗
  18. And surely the mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of his place. 🔗
  19. The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man. 🔗
  20. Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away. 🔗
  21. His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them. 🔗
  22. But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn. 🔗
