LITV - Job - 14

14:1  Man born of woman is short of days, and full of turmoil.

14:2  He comes forth like a flower, and withers; he also flees as a shadow, and does not stand.

14:3  Also do You open Your eyes on such a one, and bring me into judgment with You?

14:4  Who gives a clean thing out of an unclean? No one!

14:5  Since his days are fixed, the number of his months is with You, and You have appointed his hounds, and he cannot pass over;

14:6  look away from him, so that he may rest, till he shall enjoy his day as a hireling.

14:7  For there is hope of a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and its shoot will not cease.

14:8  Though its root becomes old in the earth, and its stump dies in the dust,

14:9  at the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth branches like a plant.

14:10  But man dies and is cut off, and man expires; and where is he?

14:11  As the waters go away from the sea, and a river wastes away and dries up,

14:12  Even so man lies down and does not rise until the heavens are no more, they shall not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.

14:13  Who will grant that You would hide me in Sheol; You would conceal me until Your anger turns back; that You would set a limit for me and remember me?

14:14  If a man dies, will he revive? All the days of my warfare I will wait, until my change comes.

14:15  You shall call, and I will answer You; You shall long to the work of Your hands.

14:16  For now You number my steps; do You not watch over my sin?

14:17  My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and You cover over my iniquity.

14:18  And surely a falling mountain crumbles away, and the rock moves out of its place.

14:19  The waters wear away stones; its outpouring washes the dust of the earth; and You cause the hope of man to perish.

14:20  You overpower him forever, and He goes. You change his face and send him away.

14:21  His sons come to honor, and he does not know; they fail, but he does not mark it.

14:22  But his flesh is pained within him; and his soul mourns over him.
