< Job 14 >
1 A human being born of a woman [is] short of days and surfeited of turmoil.
“Man, born of woman! 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.
As a flower he has gone forth, and is cut off, And he flees as a shadow and does not stand.
3 Indeed? on this do you open eyes your and me do you bring? in judgment with yourself.
Also—on this You have opened Your eyes, and bring me into judgment with You.
4 Who? will he make a clean [thing] from an unclean [thing] not one [person].
Who gives a clean thing out of an 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, The number of his months [are] with You, You have made his limit, And he does not pass over;
6 Look away from on him so he may cease until he takes pleasure in like a hired laborer day his.
Look away from off him that he may cease, Until he enjoy as a hired worker 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 is cut down, That it changes again, That its tender branch does not cease.
8 Though it will grow old in the ground root its and in the dust it will die stump its.
If its root becomes old in the earth, And its stem dies in the dust,
9 From [the] scent of water it will show buds and it will produce shoot[s] like a plant.
From the fragrance of water it flourishes, And has made a crop as a plant.
10 And a man he dies and he was weak and he expired a person and where [is]? he.
And a man dies, and becomes weak, And man expires, and where [is] he?
11 They disappear waters from [the] sea and a river it dries up and it is dry.
Waters have gone away from a sea, And a river becomes waste and dry.
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 has lain down, and does not rise, Until the wearing out of the heavens they do not awaken, Nor are roused 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 )
O that You would conceal me in Sheol, Hide me until the turning of Your anger, Set a limit for me, and 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.
If a man dies—does he revive? All [the] days of my warfare I wait, until my change comes.
15 You will call and I I will answer you for [the] work of hands your you will long.
You call, and I answer You; To the work of Your hands You have desire.
16 For now steps my you will count not you will watch over sin my.
But now, You number my steps, You do 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 You sew up my iniquity.
18 And but a mountain [is] falling it crumbles away and a rock it moves from place its.
And yet, a falling mountain wastes away, and a rock is removed from 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 have worn away stones, Their outpourings wash away the dust of earth, And You have destroyed the hope of man.
20 You overpower him to perpetuity and he went [you are] changing face his and you sent away him.
You prevail [over] him forever, and he goes, He is changing his countenance, And You send him away.
21 They are honored sons his and not he knows and they may be insignificant and not he perceives it.
His sons are honored, and he does not know; And they are little, and he does not attend to them.
22 Only own flesh his on himself it is in pain and self his on himself it mourns.
Only—his flesh is pained for him, And his soul mourns for him.”
