The Book of Job

Job 14:1 Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.

Job 14:2 He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.

Job 14:3 And dost Thou open Thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with Thee?

Job 14:4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.

Job 14:5 Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with Thee, Thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;

Job 14:6 Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day.

Job 14:7 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.

Job 14:8 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;

Job 14:9 Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.

Job 14:10 But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?

Job 14:11 As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:

Job 14:12 So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.

Job 14:13 O that Thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that Thou wouldest keep me secret, until Thy wrath be past, that Thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!

Job 14:14 If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.

Job 14:15 Thou shalt call, and I will answer Thee: Thou wilt have a desire to the work of Thine hands.

Job 14:16 For now Thou numberest my steps: dost Thou not watch over my sin?

Job 14:17 My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and Thou sewest up mine iniquity.

Job 14:18 And surely the mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of his place.

Job 14:19 The waters wear the stones: Thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and Thou destroyest the hope of man.

Job 14:20 Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: Thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.

Job 14:21 His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.

Job 14:22 But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.
