Job  


14 : 1 Man who isborn of a womanisfew of days andfull of trouble.
14 : 2 He comes out likea flower andwithers;he flees likea shadow and continues not.
14 : 3 And do youopen your eyes on such a oneandbring me into judgment with you?
14 : 4 Who can bringa clean thing out of an unclean?There is not one.
14 : 5 Since hisdays are determined,andthe number of his months is with you,and you have appointed his limits that he cannot pass,
14 : 6 look away from him and leave him alone,that he may enjoy, likea hired hand, his day.
14 : 7 For there is hope for a tree,if it be cut down, that it will sprout again,and that its shoots will not cease.
14 : 8 Though its root grow old in the earth,andits stump die in the soil,
14 : 9 yet at the scent of water it will budand put outbranches like a young plant.
14 : 10 But a man dies and is laid low;man breathes his last, andwhere is he?
14 : 11 As waters fail from a lakeand a river wastes away and dries up,
14 : 12 so a man lies down and rises not again;tillthe heavens are no more he will not awakeor beroused out of his sleep.
14 : 13 Oh that you wouldhide me inSheol,that you wouldconceal meuntil your wrath be past,that you would appoint me a set time, and remember me!
14 : 14 If a man dies, shall he live again?All the days of myservice I wouldwait,till my renewalshould come.
14 : 15 You wouldcall, and I would answer you;you would long for thework of your hands.
14 : 16 For then you wouldnumber my steps;you would not keepwatch over my sin;
14 : 17 my transgression would besealed up in a bag,and you would cover over my iniquity.
14 : 18 But the mountain falls andcrumbles away,andthe rock is removed from its place;
14 : 19 the waters wear away the stones;the torrents wash away the soil of the earth;so you destroy the hope of man.
14 : 20 You prevail forever against him, and he passes;you change his countenance, and send him away.
14 : 21 His sons come to honor, and hedoes not know it;they are brought low, and he perceives it not.
14 : 22 He feels only the pain of his own body,and he mourns only for himself.
