< Job 14 >
1 A human being born of a woman [is] short of days and surfeited of turmoil.
Man born of a woman, living for a short time, is filled with many miseries.
2 Like a flower he comes forth and he withered and he fled like shadow and not he remains.
Who cometh forth like a flower, and is destroyed, and fleeth as a shadow, and never continueth in the same state.
3 Indeed? on this do you open eyes your and me do you bring? in judgment with yourself.
And dost thou think it meet to open thy eyes upon such an one, and to bring him into judgment with thee?
4 Who? will he make a clean [thing] from an unclean [thing] not one [person].
Who can make him clean that is conceived of unclean seed? is it not thou who only art?
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.
The days of man are short, and the number of his months is with thee: thou hast appointed his bounds which cannot be passed.
6 Look away from on him so he may cease until he takes pleasure in like a hired laborer day his.
Depart a little from him, that he may rest, until his wished for day come, as that of the 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.
A tree hath hope: if it be cut, it groweth green again, and the boughs thereof sprout.
8 Though it will grow old in the ground root its and in the dust it will die stump its.
If its root be old in the earth, and its stock be dead in the dust:
9 From [the] scent of water it will show buds and it will produce shoot[s] like a plant.
At the scent of water, it shall spring, and bring forth leaves, as when it was first planted.
10 And a man he dies and he was weak and he expired a person and where [is]? he.
But man when he shall be dead, and stripped and consumed, I pray you where is he?
11 They disappear waters from [the] sea and a river it dries up and it is dry.
As if the waters should depart out of the sea, and an emptied river should be 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.
So man when he is fallen asleep shall not rise again; till the heavens be broken, he shall not awake, nor rise up out of his 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 )
Who will grant me this, that thou mayst protect me in hell, and hide me till thy wrath pass, and appoint me a. time when thou wilt remember me? (Sheol )
14 If he will die a man ¿ will he live all [the] days of service my I will wait until comes relief my.
Shall man that is dead, thinkest thou, live again? all the days in which I am now in warfare, I expect until my change come.
15 You will call and I I will answer you for [the] work of hands your you will long.
Thou shalt call me, and I will answer thee: to the work of thy hands thou shalt reach out thy right hand.
16 For now steps my you will count not you will watch over sin my.
Thou indeed hast numbered my steps, but spare my sins.
17 [will be] sealed up In a bag transgression my and you have smeared over iniquity my.
Thou hast sealed up my offences as it were in a bag, but hast cured my iniquity.
18 And but a mountain [is] falling it crumbles away and a rock it moves from place its.
A mountain falling cometh to nought, and a 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.
Waters wear away the stones, and with inundation the ground by little and little is washed away: so in like manner thou shalt destroy man.
20 You overpower him to perpetuity and he went [you are] changing face his and you sent away him.
Thou hast strengthened him for a little while, that he may pass away for ever: thou shalt change his face, and shalt send him away.
21 They are honored sons his and not he knows and they may be insignificant and not he perceives it.
Whether his children come to honour or dishonour, he shall not understand.
22 Only own flesh his on himself it is in pain and self his on himself it mourns.
But yet his flesh, while he shall live, shall have pain, and his soul shall mourn over him.
