Job Chapter 14
|
|||
|
|
1 “Man, who is born of a woman, is of few days, and full of trouble.
|
|||
|
|
2 He grows up like a flower, and is cut down. He also flees like a shadow, and doesn’t continue.
|
|||
|
|
3 Do you open your eyes on such a one, and bring me into judgment with you?
|
|||
|
|
4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one.
|
|||
|
|
5 Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months is with you, and you have appointed his bounds that he can’t pass.
|
|||
|
|
6 Look away from him, that he may rest, until he accomplishes, as a hireling, his day.
|
|||
|
|
7 “For there is hope for a tree if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, that the tender branch of it will not cease.
|
|||
|
|
8 Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stock dies in the ground,
|
|||
|
|
9 yet through the scent of water it will bud, and sprout boughs like a plant.
|
|||
|
|
10 But man dies, and is laid low. Yes, man gives up the spirit, and where is he?
|
|||
|
|
11 As the waters fail from the sea, and the river wastes and dries up,
|
|||
|
|
12 so man lies down and doesn’t rise. Until the heavens are no more, they will not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.
|
|||
|
|
13 “Oh that you would hide me in Sheol, that you would keep me secret until your wrath is past, that you would appoint me a set time and remember me!
|
|||
|
|
14 If a man dies, will he live again? I would wait all the days of my warfare, until my release should come.
|
|||
|
|
15 You would call, and I would answer you. You would have a desire for the work of your hands.
|
|||
|
|
16 But now you count my steps. Don’t you watch over my sin?
|
|||
|
|
17 My disobedience is sealed up in a bag. You fasten up my iniquity.
|
|||
|
|
18 “But the mountain falling comes to nothing. The rock is removed out of its place.
|
|||
|
|
19 The waters wear the stones. The torrents of it wash away the dust of the earth. So you destroy the hope of man.
|
|||
|
|
20 You forever prevail against him, and he departs. You change his face, and send him away.
|
|||
|
|
21 His sons come to honor, and he doesn’t know it. They are brought low, but he doesn’t perceive it of them.
|
|||
|
|
22 But his flesh on him has pain, and his soul within him mourns.”
