chapter_Job_14
Job 14:1: Man, born of woman! Of few days, and full of trouble! Job 14:2: As a flower he hath gone forth, and is cut off, And he fleeth as a shadow and standeth not. Job 14:3: Also &#8212; on this Thou hast opened Thine eyes, And dost bring me into judgment with Thee. Job 14:4: Who giveth a clean thing out of an unclean? not one. Job 14:5: If determined are his days, The number of his months are with Thee, His limit Thou hast made, And he passeth not over; Job 14:6: Look away from off him that he may cease, Till he enjoy as an hireling his day. Job 14:7: For there is of a tree hope, if it be cut down, That again it doth change, That its tender branch doth not cease. Job 14:8: If its root becometh old in the earth, And its stem doth die in the dust, Job 14:9: From the fragrance of water it doth flourish, And hath made a crop as a plant. Job 14:10: And a man dieth, and becometh weak, And man expireth, and where is he? Job 14:11: Waters have gone away from a sea, And a river becometh waste and dry. Job 14:12: And man hath lain down, and riseth not, Till the wearing out of the heavens they awake not, Nor are roused from their sleep. Job 14:13: O that in Sheol Thou wouldest conceal me, Hide me till the turning of Thine anger, Set for me a limit, and remember me. Job 14:14: If a man dieth &#8212; doth he revive? All days of my warfare I wait, till my change come. Job 14:15: Thou dost call, and I &#8212; I answer Thee; To the work of Thy hands Thou hast desire. Job 14:16: But now, my steps Thou numberest, Thou dost not watch over my sin. Job 14:17: Sealed up in a bag is my transgression, And Thou sewest up mine iniquity. Job 14:18: And yet, a falling mountain wasteth away, And a rock is removed from its place. Job 14:19: Stones have waters worn away, Their outpourings wash away the dust of earth, And the hope of man Thou hast destroyed. Job 14:20: Thou prevailest over him for ever, and he goeth, He is changing his countenance, And Thou sendest him away. Job 14:21: Honoured are his sons, and he knoweth not; And they are little, and he attendeth not to them. Job 14:22: Only &#8212; his flesh for him is pained, And his soul for him doth mourn.'
