Chapter 14

1


 

  Man, born of woman! Of few days, and full of trouble!  

 

 

-

2


 

  As a flower he hath gone forth, and is cut off, And he fleeth as a shadow and standeth not.  

 

 

-

3


 

  Also -- on this Thou hast opened Thine eyes, And dost bring me into judgment with Thee.  

 

 

-

4


 

  Who giveth a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.  

 

 

-

5


 

  If determined are his days, The number of his months [are] with Thee, His limit Thou hast made, And he passeth not over;  

 

 

-

6


 

  Look away from off him that he may cease, Till he enjoy as an hireling his day.  

 

 

-

7


 

  For there is of a tree hope, if it be cut down, That again it doth change, That its tender branch doth not cease.  

 

 

-

8


 

  If its root becometh old in the earth, And its stem doth die in the dust,  

 

 

-

9


 

  From the fragrance of water it doth flourish, And hath made a crop as a plant.  

 

 

-

10


 

  And a man dieth, and becometh weak, And man expireth, and where [is] he?  

 

 

-

11


 

  Waters have gone away from a sea, And a river becometh waste and dry.  

 

 

-

12


 

  And man hath lain down, and riseth not, Till the wearing out of the heavens they awake not, Nor are roused from their sleep.  

 

 

-

13


 

  O that in Sheol Thou wouldst conceal me, Hide me till the turning of Thine anger, Set for me a limit, and remember me.  

 

 

-

14


 

  If a man dieth -- doth he revive? All days of my warfare I wait, till my change come.  

 

 

-

15


 

  Thou dost call, and I -- I answer Thee; To the work of Thy hands Thou hast desire.  

 

 

-

16


 

  But now, my steps Thou numberest, Thou dost not watch over my sin.  

 

 

-

17


 

  Sealed up in a bag [is] my transgression, And Thou sewest up mine iniquity.  

 

 

-

18


 

  And yet, a falling mountain wasteth away, And a rock is removed from its place.  

 

 

-

19


 

  Stones have waters worn away, Their outpourings wash away the dust of earth, And the hope of man Thou hast destroyed.  

 

 

-

20


 

  Thou prevailest [over] him for ever, and he goeth, He is changing his countenance, And Thou sendest him away.  

 

 

-

21


 

  Honoured are his sons, and he knoweth not; And they are little, and he attendeth not to them.  

 

 

-

22


 

  Only -- his flesh for him is pained, And his soul for him doth mourn.'
