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.
