Job 14

1Man^H120, that is born^H3205 of a woman^H802, Is of few^H7116 days^H3117, and full^H7649 of trouble^H7267. 2He cometh forth^H3318 like a flower^H6731, and is cut down^H5243: He fleeth^H1272 also as a shadow^H6738, and continueth^H5975 not. 3And dost thou open^H6491 thine eyes^H5869 upon such a one^H2088, And bringest^H935 me into judgment^H4941 with thee? 4Who can bring^H5414 a clean^H2889 thing out of an unclean^H2931? not one^H259. 5Seeing^H518 his days^H3117 are determined^H2782, The number^H4557 of his months^H2320 is with thee, And thou hast appointed^H6213 his bounds^H2706 that he cannot pass^H5674; 6Look^H8159 away from him, that he may rest^H2308, Till he shall accomplish^H7521, as a hireling^H7916, his day^H3117. 7For there is^H3426 hope^H8615 of a tree^H6086, If it be cut down^H3772, that it will sprout again^H2498, And that the tender branch^H3127 thereof will not cease^H2308. 8Though the root^H8328 thereof wax old^H2204 in the earth^H776, And the stock^H1503 thereof die^H4191 in the ground^H6083; 9Yet through the scent^H7381 of water^H4325 it will bud^H6524, And put forth^H6213 boughs^H7105 like a plant^H5194. 10But man^H1397 dieth^H4191, and is laid low^H2522: Yea, man^H120 giveth up the ghost^H1478, and where is he? 11 As the waters^H4325 fail^H235 from the sea^H3220, And the river^H5104 wasteth^H2717 and drieth up^H3001; 12So man^H376 lieth down^H7901 and riseth^H6965 not: Till the heavens^H8064 be no more^H1115, they shall not awake^H6974, Nor be roused out^H5782 of their sleep^H8142. 13Oh that^H5414 thou wouldest hide^H6845 me in Sheol^H7585, That thou wouldest keep me secret^H5641, until thy wrath^H639 be past^H7725, That thou wouldest appoint^H7896 me a set time^H2706, and remember^H2142 me! 14If a man^H1397 die^H4191, shall he live^H2421 again? All the days^H3117 of my warfare^H6635 would I wait^H3176, Till my release^H2487 should come^H935. 15Thou wouldest call^H7121, and I would answer^H6030 thee: Thou wouldest have a desire^H3700 to the work^H4639 of thy hands^H3027. 16But now thou numberest^H5608 my steps^H6806: Dost thou not watch^H8104 over my sin^H2403? 17My transgression^H6588 is sealed up^H2856 in a bag^H6872, And thou fastenest up^H2950 mine iniquity^H5771. 18But^H199 the mountain^H2022 falling^H5307 cometh to nought^H5034; And the rock^H6697 is removed^H6275 out of its place^H4725; 19The waters^H4325 wear^H7833 the stones^H68; The overflowings thereof wash away^H7857 the^H5599 dust^H6083 of the earth^H776: So thou destroyest^H6 the hope^H8615 of man^H582. 20Thou prevailest^H8630 for ever^H5331 against him, and he passeth^H1980; Thou changest^H8138 his countenance^H6440, and sendest him away^H7971. 21His sons^H1121 come to honor^H3513, and he knoweth^H3045 it not; And they are brought low^H6819, but he perceiveth^H995 it not of them. 22But his flesh^H1320 upon him hath pain^H3510, And his soul^H5315 within him mourneth^H56.
