Chapter 14

1


 

  'Man, who is born of a woman, Is of few days, and full of trouble.  

 

 

--

2


 

  He comes forth 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 shall accomplish, 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 the root of it grows old in the earth, And the stock of it dies in the ground;  

 

 

--

9


 

  Yet through the scent of water it will bud, And put forth 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 shall 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, shall he live again? All the days of my warfare would I wait, Until my release should come.  

 

 

--

15


 

  You would call, and I would answer you. You would have a desire to the work of your hands.  

 

 

--

16


 

  But now you number 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 passes; 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; His soul within him mourns.'  

 

 

--
