Job 14
1 # Job 5.7; Eccl 2.23 “A mortal, born of woman, few of days and full of trouble,
2 # Ps 90.5, 6; Jas 1.10; 1 Pet 1.24 comes up like a flower and withers,
flees like a shadow and does not last.
3 # Ps 143.2; 144.3 Do you fix your eyes on such a one?
Do you bring me into judgment with you?
4 # Ps 51.2, 10; Jn 3.6; Rom 5.12; Eph 2.3 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?
No one can.
5 # Job 21.21; Ps 139.16; Acts 17.26 Since their days are determined,
and the number of their months is known to you,
and you have appointed the bounds that they cannot pass,
6 # Job 7.1, 19 look away from them and desist,#14.6 Cn: Heb that they may desist
that they may enjoy, like laborers, their days.
7“For there is hope for a tree,
if it is cut down, that it will sprout again
and that its shoots will not cease.
8Though its root grows old in the earth
and its stump dies in the ground,
9 # Isa 55.10 yet at the scent of water it will bud
and put forth branches like a young plant.
10 # Job 13.19 But mortals die and are laid low;
humans expire, and where are they?
11 # Isa 19.5 As waters fail from a lake
and a river wastes away and dries up,
12 # Ps 102.26; Acts 3.21; Rev 20.11; 21.1 so mortals lie down and do not rise again;
until the heavens are no more, they will not awake
or be roused out of their sleep.
13 # Isa 26.20 O that you would hide me in Sheol,
that you would conceal me until your wrath is past,
that you would appoint me a set time and remember me!
14 # Job 7.1 If mortals die, will they live again?
All the days of my service I would wait
until my release should come.
15You would call, and I would answer you;
you would long for the work of your hands.
16 # Job 10.6; 31.4; 34.21; Prov 5.21; Jer 32.19 For then you would not#14.16 Syr: Heb lacks not number my steps;
you would not keep watch over my sin;
17 # Deut 32.34; Hos 13.12 my transgression would be sealed up in a bag,
and you would cover over my iniquity.
18 # Job 18.4 “But the mountain falls and crumbles away,
and the rock is removed from its place;
19the waters wear away the stones;
the torrents wash away the soil of the earth;
so you destroy the hope of mortals.
20 # Job 34.20; Jas 1.10 You prevail forever against them, and they pass away;
you change their countenance and send them away.
21 # Eccl 9.5; Isa 55.10 Their children come to honor, and they do not know it;
they are brought low, and it goes unnoticed.
22They feel only the pain of their own bodies
and mourn only for themselves.”
