UKJV - Job - 14

14:1  Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble.

14:2  He comes forth like a flower, and is cut down: he flees also as a shadow, and continues not.

14:3  And does you open your eyes upon such an one, and bring me into judgment with you?

14:4  Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.

14:5  Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with you, you have appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;

14:6  Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as a worker, his day.

14:7  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.

14:8  Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;

14:9  Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.

14:10  But man dies, and wastes away: yea, man gives up the spirit, and where is he?

14:11  As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decays and dries up:

14:12  So man lies down, and rises not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.

14:13  O that you would hide me in the grave, that you would keep me secret, until your wrath be past, that you would appoint me a set time, and remember me!

14:14  If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.

14:15  You shall call, and I will answer you: you will have a desire 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 sew up mine iniquity.

14:18  And surely the mountains falling comes to nothing, and the rock is removed out of his place.

14:19  The waters wear the stones: you wash away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and you destroys the hope of man.

14:20  You prevail for ever against him, and he passes: you change his countenance, and send him away.

14:21  His sons come to honour, and he knows it not; and they are brought low, but he perceives it not of them.

14:22  But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.
