Job 14:7-22
7“For thereH3426 is hopeH8615 for a treeH6086, WhenH518 it is cutH3772 downH3772, that it will sproutH2498 againH5750, And its shootsH3127 will not 1failH2308.8ThoughH518 its rootsH8328 growH2204 oldH2204 in the groundH776 And its stumpH1503 diesH4191 in the dryH6083 soilH6083,9At the scentH7381 of waterH4325 it will flourishH6524 And putH6213 forthH6213 sprigsH7105 likeH3644 a plantH5194.10But 2manH1397 diesH4191 and liesH2522 prostrateH2522. ManH120 3expiresH1478, and whereH335 is he?11As 4waterH4325 5evaporatesH235 from the seaH3220, And a riverH5104 becomesH2717 parchedH2717 and driedH3001 up,12So 6manH376 liesH7901 downH7901 and does not riseH6965. UntilH5704 the heavensH8064 are noH1115 longerH1115, 7He will not awakeH7019 norH3808 be arousedH5782 out of 8his sleepH8142.
13“OhH4310H5414 that You would hideH6845 me in 9SheolH7585, That You would concealH5641 me 10untilH5704 Your wrathH639 returnsH7725 to You, That You would setH7896 a limitH2706 for me and rememberH2142 me!14IfH518 a manH1397 diesH4191, will he liveH2421 again? AllH3605 the daysH3117 of my struggleH6635 I will waitH3176 UntilH5704 my changeH2487 comesH935.15You will callH7121, and I will answerH6030 You; You will longH3700 for 11the workH4639 of Your handsH3027.16For nowH6258 You 12numberH5608 my stepsH6806, You do not 13observeH8104 my sinH2403.17My transgressionH6588 is 14sealedH2856 up in a bagH6872, And You 15wrapH2950 up my iniquityH5771.
18“But the fallingH5307 mountainH2022 16crumblesH5034 awayH5034, And the rockH6697 movesH6275 from its placeH4725;19WaterH4325 wearsH7833 awayH7833 stonesH68, Its torrentsH5599 washH7857 awayH7857 the dustH6083 of the earthH776; So You 17destroyH6 man’sH582 hopeH8615.20You foreverH5331 overpowerH8630 him and he 18departsH1980; You changeH8132 his appearanceH6440 and sendH7971 him awayH7971.21His sonsH1121 achieveH3513 honorH3513, but 19he does not knowH3045 it; Or they becomeH6819 insignificantH6819, but he does not perceiveH995 it.22But his 20bodyH1320 painsH3510 him, And he mournsH56 only for himselfH5315.”
