Job 14

1ManH120 that is bornH3205 of a womanH802 is of few daysH3117, and fullH3117 of trouble. 2He cometh forthH3318 like a flowerH6731, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadowH6738, and continueth notH3808. 3And dost thou openH6491 thine eyesH5869 uponH5921 suchH2088 an one, and bringest meH5921 intoH935 judgmentH4941 with thee? 4Who canH4310 bringH5414 a cleanH2889 thingH259 out of an uncleanH2931? notH3808 one. 5Seeing his daysH3117 are determinedH2782, the numberH4557 of his monthsH2320 is with thee, and thou hast appointedH2706 his bounds that he cannotH3808 passH5674; 6LookH8159 awayH8159 from him, that he may restH2308, tillH5704 he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his dayH3117. 7For there is hopeH8615 of a treeH6086, ifH518 it be cutH3772 downH3772, that it will sproutH2498 againH5750, and that the tender branchH6086 thereof will notH3808 ceaseH2308. 8ThoughH518 the rootH8328 thereof wax oldH2204 in the earthH776, and the stockH1503 thereof dieH4191 in the groundH776; 9Yet through the scent of waterH4325 it will budH6524, and put forth boughs like a plantH5194. 10But manH120 dieth, and wasteth away: yea, manH120 giveth up the ghost, and whereH346 is he? 11As the watersH4325 fail from the seaH3220, and the riverH5104 decayeth and drieth upH3001; 12SoH3808 manH376 lieth downH7901 and riseth notH3808: tillH5704 the heavensH8064 be noH3808 moreH3808, they shall notH3808 awakeH5782, norH3808 be rousedH5782 outH6965 of their sleepH8142. 13OhH4310 that thou wouldest hideH5641 meH5414 in SheolH7585, that thou wouldest keepH2142 meH5414 secretH5641, untilH5704 thy wrathH639 be past, that thou wouldest appointH5414 meH5414 a setH5414 time, and rememberH2142 meH5414! 14IfH518 a manH1397 dieH4191, shall he liveH2421 again? allH3605 the daysH3117 of my warfareH6635 would I waitH3176, tillH5704 my release should comeH935. 15Thou shouldest callH7121, and I would answerH6030 thee: thou wouldest have a desire to the workH4639 of thine handsH3027. 16But nowH6258 thou numberest my stepsH6806: dost thou notH3808 watchH8104 over my sinH2403? 17My transgressionH6588 is sealedH2856 upH5921 in a bagH6872, and thou fastenest upH5921 mine iniquityH5771. 18And surelyH5307 the mountainH2022 fallingH5307 cometh to nought, and the rockH6697 is removed outH4725 of its placeH4725; 19The watersH4325 wear the stonesH68; the overflowings thereof washH7857 awayH7857 the dustH6083 of the earthH776: and thou destroyest the hopeH8615 of manH582. 20Thou prevailest for everH5331 againstH6440 him, and he passeth; thou changest his countenanceH6440, and sendest him awayH7971. 21His sonsH1121 come to honour, and he knoweth it notH3808; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it notH3808 of them. 22But his fleshH1320 uponH5921 him hath painH3510, and his soulH5315 withinH5921 him mourneth.
