Job 14

1¶ Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble.

2He comes forth like an open flower and is cut down; he flees as a shadow and does not remain.

3And dost thou open thine eyes upon such a one and bring me into judgment with thee?

4Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? No one.

5Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass.

6If thou should leave him, he will cease to exist; until then, he shall desire, as a hireling, his day.

7¶ For there is yet hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again and that its tender branch will not cease.

8Though its root waxes old in the earth and its trunk is dead in the ground,

9at the scent of water it will bud and bring forth boughs like a new plant.

10But when man shall die and be cut off, and the man shall perish, where shall he be?

11The waters from the sea went, and the river ran out, it dried up.

12So man lies down and does not rise; until there is no heaven, they shall not awake nor be raised out of their sleep.

13O that thou would hide me in Sheol, that thou would keep me covered until thy wrath is past, that thou would appoint me a set time and remember me!

14If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my appointed time I will wait until my transformation comes.

15 Then thou shalt call, and I will answer thee; thou wilt have a desire towards the work of thine hands.

16¶ For now thou dost number my steps; thou dost not open up my sin.

17My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou dost sew up my iniquity.

18And certainly the mountain that falls is undone, and the rocks are removed out of their place.

19The impetuous waters break the stones and wash away the dust of the earth; in like manner thou dost cause man to lose hope.

20Thou shalt be stronger than him for ever, and he passes; thou dost change his countenance and send him away.

21His sons shall be honoured and he shall not know of it; or they shall be afflicted, but he shall not perceive of them.

22But while his flesh is upon him, he shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.

Job 14

1Man that is born of a woman

Is of few days, and full of trouble.

2He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down:

He fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.

3And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one,

And bringest me into judgment with thee?

4Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?

Not one.

5Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee,

Thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;

6Turn from him, that he may rest,

Till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day.

7For 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.

8Though 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.

10But 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:

12So man lieth down, and riseth not:

Till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake,

Nor be raised out of their sleep.

13O 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!

14If a man die, shall he live again?

All the days of my appointed time will I wait,

Till my change come.

15Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee:

Thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.

16For now thou numberest my steps:

Dost thou not watch over my sin?

17My transgression is sealed up in a bag,

And thou sewest up mine iniquity.

18And surely the mountain falling cometh to nought,

And the rock is removed out of his place.

19The 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.

20Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth:

Thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.

21His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not;

And they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.

22But his flesh upon him shall have pain,

And his soul within him shall mourn.
