Chapter 14

1


 

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

 

 

-

2


 

  He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: He fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.  

 

 

-

3


 

  And dost thou open thine eyes upon such a one, And bringest me into judgment with thee?  

 

 

-

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 thee, And thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;  

 

 

-

6


 

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

 

 

-

7


 

  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.  

 

 

-

8


 

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

 

 

-

9


 

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

 

 

-

10


 

  But man dieth, and is laid low: Yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?  

 

 

-

11


 

  [As] the waters fail from the sea, And the river wasteth and drieth up;  

 

 

-

12


 

  So man lieth down and riseth not: Till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, Nor be roused out of their sleep.  

 

 

-

13


 

  Oh that thou wouldest hide me in Sheol, That thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, That thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!  

 

 

-

14


 

  If a man die, shall he live [again]? All the days of my warfare would I wait, Till my release should come.  

 

 

-

15


 

  Thou wouldest call, and I would answer thee: Thou wouldest have a desire to the work of thy hands.  

 

 

-

16


 

  But now thou numberest my steps: Dost thou not watch over my sin?  

 

 

-

17


 

  My transgression is sealed up in a bag, And thou fastenest up mine iniquity.  

 

 

-

18


 

  But the mountain falling cometh to nought; And the rock is removed out of its place;  

 

 

-

19


 

  The waters wear the stones; The overflowings thereof wash away the dust of the earth: So thou destroyest the hope of man.  

 

 

-

20


 

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

 

 

-

21


 

  His sons come to honor, and he knoweth it not; And they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.  

 

 

-

22


 

  But his flesh upon him hath pain, And his soul within him mourneth.
