Chapter 14

1


 

  Man [that is] born of a woman [is] of few days, and full of trouble.  

 

 


2


 

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

 

 


3


 

  And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?  

 

 


4


 

  Who can bring a clean [thing] out of an unclean? not one.  

 

 


5


 

  Seeing his days [are] determined, the number of his months [are] with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;  

 

 


6


 

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

 

 


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.  

 

 


8


 

  Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;  

 

 


9


 

  [Yet] through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.  

 

 


10


 

  But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where [is] he?  

 

 


11


 

  [As] the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:  

 

 


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.  

 

 


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!  

 

 


14


 

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

 

 


15


 

  Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.  

 

 


16


 

  For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?  

 

 


17


 

  My transgression [is] sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity.  

 

 


18


 

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

 

 


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.  

 

 


20


 

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

 

 


21


 

  His sons come to honour, and he knoweth [it] not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth [it] not of them.  

 

 


22


 

  But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.
