Job 14:1-21

14:1

Man
<0120>

[that is] born
<03205> (8803)

of a woman
<0802>

[is] of few
<07116>

days
<03117>_,

and full
<07649>

of trouble
<07267>_.

{few...: Heb. short of days}

14:2

He cometh forth
<03318> (8804)

like a flower
<06731>_,

and is cut down
<05243> (8799)_:

he fleeth
<01272> (8799)

also as a shadow
<06738>_,

and continueth
<05975> (8799)

not.

14:3

And dost thou open
<06491> (8804)

thine eyes
<05869>

upon such an one
<02088>_,

and bringest
<0935> (8686)

me into judgment
<04941>

with thee?

14:4

Who can bring
<05414> (8799)

a clean
<02889>

[thing] out of an unclean
<02931>_?

not one
<0259>_.

{can...: Heb. will give}

14:5

Seeing
<0518>

his days
<03117>

[are] determined
<02782> (8803)_,

the number
<04557>

of his months
<02320>

[are] with thee, thou hast appointed
<06213> (8804)

his bounds
<02706>

that he cannot pass
<05674> (8799)_;

14:6

Turn
<08159> (8798)

from him, that he may rest
<02308> (8799)_,

till he shall accomplish
<07521> (8799)_,

as an hireling
<07916>_,

his day
<03117>_.

{rest: Heb. cease}

14:7

For there is
<03426>

hope
<08615>

of a tree
<06086>_,

if it be cut down
<03772> (8735)_,

that it will sprout again
<02498> (8686)_,

and that the tender branch
<03127>

thereof will not cease
<02308> (8799)_.

14:8

Though the root
<08328>

thereof wax old
<02204> (8686)

in the earth
<0776>_,

and the stock
<01503>

thereof die
<04191> (8799)

in the ground
<06083>_;

14:9

[Yet] through the scent
<07381>

of water
<04325>

it will bud
<06524> (8686)_,

and bring forth
<06213> (8804)

boughs
<07105>

like a plant
<05194>_.

14:10

But man
<01397>

dieth
<04191> (8799)_,

and wasteth away
<02522> (8799)_:

yea, man
<0120>

giveth up the ghost
<01478> (8799)_,

and where [is] he? {wasteth...: Heb. is weakened, or, cut off}

14:11

[As] the waters
<04325>

fail
<0235> (8804)

from the sea
<03220>_,

and the flood
<05104>

decayeth
<02717> (8799)

and drieth up
<03001> (8804)_:

14:12

So man
<0376>

lieth down
<07901> (8804)_,

and riseth
<06965> (8799)

not: till the heavens
<08064>

[be] no more
<01115>_,

they shall not awake
<06974> (8686)_,

nor be raised out
<05782> (8735)

of their sleep
<08142>_.

14:13

O that
<05414> (8799)

thou wouldest hide
<06845> (8686)

me in the grave
<07585>_,

that thou wouldest keep me secret
<05641> (8686)_,

until thy wrath
<0639>

be past
<07725> (8800)_,

that thou wouldest appoint
<07896> (8799)

me a set time
<02706>_,

and remember
<02142> (8799)

me!

14:14

If a man
<01397>

die
<04191> (8799)_,

shall he live
<02421> (8799)

[again]? all the days
<03117>

of my appointed time
<06635>

will I wait
<03176> (8762)_,

till my change
<02487>

come
<0935> (8800)_.

14:15

Thou shalt call
<07121> (8799)_,

and I will answer
<06030> (8799)

thee: thou wilt have a desire
<03700> (8799)

to the work
<04639>

of thine hands
<03027>_.

14:16

For now thou numberest
<05608> (8799)

my steps
<06806>_:

dost thou not watch
<08104> (8799)

over my sin
<02403>_?

14:17

My transgression
<06588>

[is] sealed up
<02856> (8803)

in a bag
<06872>_,

and thou sewest up
<02950> (8799)

mine iniquity
<05771>_.

14:18

And surely
<0199>

the mountain
<02022>

falling
<05307> (8802)

cometh to nought
<05034> (8799)_,

and the rock
<06697>

is removed
<06275> (8799)

out of his place
<04725>_.

{cometh...: Heb. fadeth}

14:19

The waters
<04325>

wear
<07833> (8804)

the stones
<068>_:

thou washest away
<07857> (8799)

the things which grow
<05599>

[out] of the dust
<06083>

of the earth
<0776>_;

and thou destroyest
<06> (8689)

the hope
<08615>

of man
<0582>_.

{washest...: Heb. overflowest}

14:20

Thou prevailest
<08630> (8799)

for ever
<05331>

against him, and he passeth
<01980> (8799)_:

thou changest
<08138> (8764)

his countenance
<06440>_,

and sendest him away
<07971> (8762)_.

14:21

His sons
<01121>

come to honour
<03513> (8799)_,

and he knoweth
<03045> (8799)

[it] not; and they are brought low
<06819> (8799)_,

but he perceiveth
<0995> (8799)

[it] not of them.
