Job 14

1ManH120, that is bornH3205 of a womanH802, Is of few daysH3117, and full of trouble.2He cometh forthH3318 like a flowerH6731, and is cut down: He fleeth also as a shadowH6738, and continueth not.3And dost thou openH6491 thine eyesH5869 upon such a oneH2088, And bringest me into judgmentH4941 with thee?4Who can bring a cleanH2889 thing out of an uncleanH2931? not oneH259.5Seeing his daysH3117 are determined, The numberH4557 of his monthsH2320 is with thee, And thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot passH5674;6LookH8159 awayH8159 from him, that he may rest, Till he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his dayH3117.7For there is hopeH8615 of a treeH6086, If it be cutH3772 down, that it will sproutH2498 againH5750, And that the tender branch thereof will not ceaseH2308.8Though the rootH8328 thereof wax oldH2204 in the earthH776, And the stock thereof dieH4191 in the groundH776;9Yet through the scent of waterH4325 it will budH6524, And put forth boughs like a plant.10But manH120 dieth, and is laid low: Yea, manH120 giveth up the ghost, and whereH346 is he?11Asthe watersH4325 fail from the seaH3220, And the riverH5104 wasteth and drieth up;12So manH376 lieth downH7901 and riseth not: Till the heavensH8064 be no more, they shall not awakeH5782, Nor be rousedH5782 out of their sleepH8142.13Oh that thou wouldest hideH5641 me in SheolH7585, That thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, That thou wouldest appoint me a setH5414 time, and rememberH2142 me!14If a manH1397 dieH4191, shall he liveH2421again? All the daysH3117 of my warfareH6635 would I waitH3176, Till my release should comeH935.15Thou wouldest callH7121, and I would answerH6030 thee: Thou wouldest have a desire to the workH4639 of thy handsH3027.16But nowH6258 thou numberest my stepsH6806: Dost thou not watchH8104 over my sinH2403?17My transgressionH6588 is sealedH2856 up in a bagH6872, And thou fastenest up mine iniquityH5771.18But the mountainH2022 fallingH5307 cometh to nought; And the rockH6697 is removed out of its placeH4725;19The watersH4325 wear the stonesH68; The overflowings thereof washH7857 away the dustH6083 of the earthH776: So thou destroyest the hopeH8615 of man.20Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth; Thou changest his countenance, and sendest him awayH7971.21His sonsH1121 come to honorH3513, and he knoweth it not; And they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.22But his fleshH1320 upon him hath painH3510, And his soulH5315 within him mourneth.
