Book 29 : KETUVIM - JOB - Chapter 014

14:001

Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble

14:002

He cometh forth like a flower, and withereth; he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not

14:003

And dost Thou open Thine eyes upon such a one, and bringest me into judgment with Thee

14:004

Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one

14:005

Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months is with Thee, and Thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass

14:006

Look away from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day

14:007

For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease

14:008

Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground

14:009

Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and put forth boughs like a plant

14:010

But man dieth, and lieth low; yea, man perisheth, and where is he

14:011

As the waters fail from the sea, and the river is drained dry

14:012

So man lieth down and riseth not; till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep

14:013

Oh that Thou wouldest hide me in the nether-world, that Thou wouldest keep me secret, until Thy wrath be past, that Thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!-

14:014

If a man die, may he live again? All the days of my service would I wait, till my relief should come-

14:015

Thou wouldest call, and I would answer Thee; Thou wouldest have a desire to the work of Thy hands

14:016

But now Thou numberest my steps, Thou dost not even wait for my sin

14:017

My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and Thou heapest up mine iniquity

14:018

And surely the mountain falling crumbleth away, and the rock is removed out of its place

14:019

The waters wear the stones; the overflowings thereof wash away the dust of the earth; so Thou destroyest the hope of man

14:020

Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth; Thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away

14:021

His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he regardeth them not

14:022

But his flesh grieveth for him, and his soul mourneth over him
