< Job 14 >

1 A human being born of a woman [is] short of days and surfeited of turmoil.
For a mortal born of a woman [is] short lived, and full of wrath.
2 Like a flower he comes forth and he withered and he fled like shadow and not he remains.
Or he falls like a flower that has bloomed; and he departs like a shadow, and cannot continue.
3 Indeed? on this do you open eyes your and me do you bring? in judgment with yourself.
Hast thou not taken account even of him, and caused him to enter into judgment before thee?
4 Who? will he make a clean [thing] from an unclean [thing] not one [person].
For who shall be pure from uncleanness? not even one;
5 If [are] determined - days his [the] number of months his [is] with you (limits his *Q(K)*) you have appointed and not he will pass.
if even his life should be [but] one day upon the earth: and his months are numbered by him: thou hast appointed [him] for a time, and he shall by no means exceed [it].
6 Look away from on him so he may cease until he takes pleasure in like a hired laborer day his.
Depart from him, that he may be quiet, and take pleasure in his life, [though] as a hireling.
7 For there for a tree [is] hope if it will be cut down and again it will sprout afresh and young shoot[s] its not it will fail.
For there is hope for a tree, even if it should be cut down, [that] it shall blossom again, and its branch shall not fail.
8 Though it will grow old in the ground root its and in the dust it will die stump its.
For though its root should grow old in the earth, and its stem die in the rock;
9 From [the] scent of water it will show buds and it will produce shoot[s] like a plant.
it will blossom from the scent of water, and will produce a crop, as one newly planted.
10 And a man he dies and he was weak and he expired a person and where [is]? he.
But a man that has died is utterly gone; and when a mortal has fallen, he is no more.
11 They disappear waters from [the] sea and a river it dries up and it is dry.
For the sea wastes in [length of] time, and a river fails and is dried up.
12 And a person he lies down and not he will arise until [is] not heaven not they will awake and not they will be roused from sleep their.
And man that has lain down [in death] shall certainly not rise again till the heaven be dissolved, and they shall not awake from their sleep.
13 Who? will he give - in Sheol you will hide me you will conceal me until turns back anger your you will set for me a limit and you will remember me. (Sheol h7585)
For oh that thou hadst kept me in the grave, and hadst hidden me until thy wrath should cease, and thou shouldest set me a time in which thou wouldest remember me! (Sheol h7585)
14 If he will die a man ¿ will he live all [the] days of service my I will wait until comes relief my.
For if a man should die, shall he live [again], having accomplished the days of his life? I will wait till I exist again?
15 You will call and I I will answer you for [the] work of hands your you will long.
Then shalt thou call, and I will hearken to thee: but do not thou reject the work of thine hands.
16 For now steps my you will count not you will watch over sin my.
But thou hast numbered my devices: and not one of my sins shall escape thee?
17 [will be] sealed up In a bag transgression my and you have smeared over iniquity my.
An thou hast sealed up my transgressions in a bag, and marked if I have been guilty of any transgression unawares.
18 And but a mountain [is] falling it crumbles away and a rock it moves from place its.
And verily a mountain falling will utterly be destroyed, and a rock shall be worn out of its place.
19 Stones - they rub away waters it washes off overflowings its [the] dust of [the] earth and [the] hope of humankind you destroy.
The waters wear the stones, and waters falling headlong [overflow] a heap of the earth: and thou destroyest the hope of man.
20 You overpower him to perpetuity and he went [you are] changing face his and you sent away him.
Thou drivest him to an end, and he is gone: thou settest thy face against him, and sendest him away;
21 They are honored sons his and not he knows and they may be insignificant and not he perceives it.
and though his children be multiplied, he knows [it] not; and if they be few, he is not aware.
22 Only own flesh his on himself it is in pain and self his on himself it mourns.
But his flesh is in pain, and his soul mourns.
