Job 14

1ManH120that isbornH3205 of a womanH802 is of fewH7116 daysH3117, and fullH7649 of troubleH7267.1 2He cometh forthH3318 like a flowerH6731, and is cut downH5243: he fleethH1272 also as a shadowH6738, and continuethH5975 not. 3And dost thou openH6491 thy eyesH5869 upon such oneH2088, and bringH935 me into judgmentH4941 with thee? 4Who can bringH5414 a cleanH2889 thing out of an uncleanH2931? not oneH259.2 5SeeingH518 his daysH3117 are determinedH2782, the numberH4557 of his monthsH2320 is with thee, thou hast appointedH6213 his boundsH2706 that he cannot passH5674; 6TurnH8159 from him, that he may restH2308, till he shall accomplishH7521, as an hirelingH7916, his dayH3117.3

7For there isH3426 hopeH8615 of a treeH6086, if it is cut downH3772, that it will sprout againH2498, and that its tender branchH3127 will not ceaseH2308. 8Though its rootH8328 shall become oldH2204 in the earthH776, and its stockH1503 dieH4191 in the groundH6083; 9Yet through the scentH7381 of waterH4325 it will budH6524, and bring forthH6213 boughsH7105 like a plantH5194. 10But manH1397 diethH4191, and wasteth awayH2522: yea, manH120 giveth up the ghostH1478, and where is he?4 11As the watersH4325 failH235 from the seaH3220, and the floodH5104 decayethH2717 and drieth upH3001: 12So manH376 lieth downH7901, and risethH6965 not: till the heavensH8064 shall be no moreH1115, they shall not awakeH6974, nor be raised outH5782 of their sleepH8142. 13O thatH5414 thou wouldest hideH6845 me in the graveH7585, that thou wouldest conceal meH5641, until thy wrathH639 is pastH7725, that thou wouldest appointH7896 me a set timeH2706, and rememberH2142 me! 14If a manH1397 diethH4191, shall he liveH2421 again ? all the daysH3117 of my appointed timeH6635 will I waitH3176, till my changeH2487 shall comeH935. 15Thou shalt callH7121, and I will answerH6030 thee: thou wilt have a desireH3700 to the workH4639 of thy handsH3027.

16For now thou numberestH5608 my stepsH6806: dost thou not watchH8104 over my sinH2403? 17My transgressionH6588 is sealed upH2856 in a bagH6872, and thou sewest upH2950 my iniquityH5771. 18And surelyH199 the mountainH2022 fallingH5307 cometh to noughtH5034, and the rockH6697 is removedH6275 out of its placeH4725.5 19The watersH4325 wearH7833 the stonesH68: thou washest awayH7857 the things which growH5599 out of the dustH6083 of the earthH776; and thou destroyestH6 the hopeH8615 of manH582.6 20Thou prevailestH8630 for everH5331 against him, and he passethH1980: thou changestH8138 his countenanceH6440, and sendest him awayH7971. 21His sonsH1121 come to honourH3513, and he knowethH3045 it not; and they are brought lowH6819, but he perceivethH995 it not of them. 22But his fleshH1320 upon him shall have painH3510, and his soulH5315 within him shall mournH56.
