vw - 14

vw@Job:14:1 @ Man who is born of woman is of few days, and full of turmoil.

vw@Job:14:2 @ He comes forth like a flower and is cut off; he flees like a shadow and does not remain.

vw@Job:14:3 @ And do You open Your eyes on such a one, and bring me into judgment with Yourself?

vw@Job:14:4 @ Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? No one!

vw@Job:14:5 @ Since his days are determined, the number of his months is with You; You have appointed his limits, so that he cannot pass beyond it.

vw@Job:14:6 @ Look away from him that he may rest, so like a hired man he may be satisfied with his day.

vw@Job:14:7 @ For there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and its tender shoots will not cease.

vw@Job:14:8 @ Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stump dies in the ground,

vw@Job:14:9 @ yet at the scent of water it will bud and bring forth branches like a plant.

vw@Job:14:10 @ But a strong man dies and is laid away; indeed man expires and where is he?

vw@Job:14:11 @ As water evaporates from the sea, and a river wastes away and dries up,

vw@Job:14:12 @ so man lies down and does not rise. Until the heavens are no more, they shall not awake nor be aroused from their sleep.

vw@Job:14:13 @ O that You would hide me in Sheol, that You would conceal me until Your wrath is turned back, that You would appoint me a decree, and remember me!

vw@Job:14:14 @ If a man dies, shall he revive? All the days of my service I will wait, until my change comes.

vw@Job:14:15 @ You shall call, and I will answer You; You shall long for the work of Your hands.

vw@Job:14:16 @ For now You number my steps. Do you not watch over my sin?

vw@Job:14:17 @ My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and You cover my iniquity.

vw@Job:14:18 @ But as a mountain falls and crumbles away, and as a rock is moved out of its place;

vw@Job:14:19 @ as waters wear away stones, and as floods wash away the dust of the earth; so You destroy the hope of man.

vw@Job:14:20 @ You overpower him forever, and he passes on; You change his countenance and send him away.

vw@Job:14:21 @ His sons come to honor, and he does not recognize them; they are diminished, and he does not perceive it.

vw@Job:14:22 @ But his flesh will be in pain, and his soul will mourn.
