Job 14

1 Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble.
Compare verse
2 He comes forth like a flower, and is cut down: he flees also as a shadow, and continues not.
Compare verse
3 And does you open your eyes on such an one, and bring me into judgment with you?
Compare verse
4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
Compare verse
5 Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with you, you have appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
Compare verse
6 Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day.
Compare verse
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.
Compare verse
8 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
Compare verse
9 Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
Compare verse
10 But man dies, and wastes away: yes, man gives up the ghost, and where is he?
Compare verse
11 As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decays and dries up:
Compare verse
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.
Compare verse
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!
Compare verse
14 If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
Compare verse
15 You shall call, and I will answer you: you will have a desire to the work of your hands.
Compare verse
16 For now you number my steps: do you not watch over my sin?
Compare verse
17 My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and you sew up my iniquity.
Compare verse
18 And surely the mountains falling comes to nothing, and the rock is removed out of his place.
Compare verse
19 The waters wear the stones: you wash away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and you destroy the hope of man.
Compare verse
20 You prevail for ever against him, and he passes: you change his countenance, and send him away.
Compare verse
21 His sons come to honor, and he knows it not; and they are brought low, but he perceives it not of them.
Compare verse
22 But his flesh on him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.
