Job|14:1|-|Man, born of woman,Is of |a|few days and full of trouble.
Job|14:2|-|He comes forth like a |a|blossom and |1|is cut down,He also flees like a shadow and does not remain.
Job|14:3|-|And do You open Your eyes upon such a oneAnd bring me into |a|litigation with You?
Job|14:4|-|Who can bring a clean thing out from the unclean?No one!
Job|14:5|-|Since his days are |a|determined,And the number of his months is with You;
Since You have appointed his bounds, and he cannot go beyond;
Job|14:6|-|Look away from him that he may rest,Until he fulfills his day like a hired hand.
Job|14:7|-|For there is hope for a tree:If it is cut down, it will |a|sprout again,
And its tender shoot will not cease.
Job|14:8|-|Though its root grows old in the earth,And its trunk dies in the dirt,
Job|14:9|-|At the scent of water it will budAnd will produce branches like a new plant.
Job|14:10|-|But a man dies and is laid low;Yes, a man expires, and then |a|where is he?
Job|14:11|-|The waters of the sea recede,And the river becomes parched and dried up:
Job|14:12|-|So a man lies down and does not rise up;Until the |a|heavens are no more, |1|he will not awake,
Nor will |1|he be roused from |2|his sleep.
Job|14:13|-|Oh, that You would hide me in Sheol,That You would conceal me until Your anger has passed,
That You would set me an appointed time and remember me!
Job|14:14|-|If a man dies, will he live again?All the days of my service I would wait,
Until a change for me should come.
Job|14:15|-|You would call, and I would answer You;You would long after the work of Your hands.
Job|14:16|-|For now You number my steps.Do You not watch over my sin?
Job|14:17|-|My transgression has been sealed up in a bag,And You have fastened up my iniquity.
Job|14:18|-|However the mountain falls and crumbles,And the rock moves from its place;
Job|14:19|-|Waters wear away stones;Their torrents wash away the dust of the earth:
So You destroy the hope of man.
Job|14:20|-|You prevail forever against him, and he passes away;You change his countenance and send him away.
Job|14:21|-|His sons gain honor, but he does not know it;And they become insignificant, but he does not perceive it.
Job|14:22|-|Only the pain of his own flesh does he feel,And his own soul mourns for him.
