< Job 14 >

1 A human being born of a woman [is] short of days and surfeited of turmoil.
Man, born of woman, is of few days, and full of trouble.
2 Like a flower he comes forth and he withered and he fled like shadow and not he remains.
He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down; and he fleeth as a shadow, and continueth not.
3 Indeed? on this do you open eyes your and me do you bring? in judgment with yourself.
Yet dost thou open thine eyes upon such a one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?
4 Who? will he make a clean [thing] from an unclean [thing] not one [person].
Who can bring a clean [man] out of the unclean? Not 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 his days are determined, if the number of his months is with thee, [and] thou hast appointed his bounds which he must not pass,
6 Look away from on him so he may cease until he takes pleasure in like a hired laborer day his.
Look away from him; and let him rest, till he accomplish, as a hireling, his day.
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: if it be cut down, it will sprout again, and its tender branch will not cease;
8 Though it will grow old in the ground root its and in the dust it will die stump its.
Though its root grow old in the earth, and its stock die in the ground,
9 From [the] scent of water it will show buds and it will produce shoot[s] like a plant.
Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and put forth boughs like a young plant.
10 And a man he dies and he was weak and he expired a person and where [is]? he.
But a man dieth, and is prostrate; yea, man expireth, and where is he?
11 They disappear waters from [the] sea and a river it dries up and it is dry.
The waters recede from the lake, and the river wasteth and drieth 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.
So man lieth down, and riseth not again; till the heavens be no more, they do not awake, nor are raised out of 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)
Oh that thou wouldest hide me in Sheol, that thou wouldest keep me secret until thine anger be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and 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.
(If a man die, shall he live [again]?) all the days of my time of toil would I wait, till my change should come:
15 You will call and I I will answer you for [the] work of hands your you will long.
Thou wouldest call, and I would answer thee; thou wouldest have a desire after the work of thy hands.
16 For now steps my you will count not you will watch over sin my.
For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?
17 [will be] sealed up In a bag transgression my and you have smeared over iniquity my.
My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou heapest up mine iniquity.
18 And but a mountain [is] falling it crumbles away and a rock it moves from place its.
And indeed a mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed 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, the floods thereof wash away the dust 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 prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth away; thou changest his countenance, and dismissest him.
21 They are honored sons his and not he knows and they may be insignificant and not he perceives it.
His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, and he perceiveth it not.
22 Only own flesh his on himself it is in pain and self his on himself it mourns.
But his flesh hath pain for himself alone, and his soul mourneth for himself.
