Job:14

Seeker Overlay ON

* Man [that is ] born of a woman [is ] of few days and full of trouble . * He comes forth like an open flower and is cut down ; he flees as a shadow and does not remain . * And dost thou open thine eyes upon such a one and bring me into judgment with thee ? * Who can bring a clean [thing ] out of an unclean ? No one . * Seeing his days [are ] determined , the number of his months [are ] with thee , thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass . * If thou should leave him , he will cease [to exist ]; until then , he shall desire , as a hireling , his day . * For there is yet hope for a tree , if it is cut down , that it will sprout again and that its tender branch will not cease . * Though its root waxes old in the earth and its trunk is dead in the ground , * at the scent of water it will bud and bring forth boughs like a new plant . * But [when ] man shall die and be cut off , and the man shall perish , where shall he be ? * The waters from the sea went , and the river ran out , it dried up . * So man lies down and does not rise ; until there is no heaven , they shall not awake nor be raised out of their sleep . * O that thou would hide me in Sheol , that thou would keep me covered until thy wrath is past , that thou would appoint me a set time and remember me ! * If a man dies , shall he live [again ]? All the days of my appointed time I will wait until my transformation comes . * [Then ] thou shalt call , and I will answer thee ; thou wilt have a desire towards the work of thine hands . * For now thou dost number my steps ; thou dost not open up my sin . * My transgression [is ] sealed up in a bag , and thou dost sew up my iniquity . * And certainly the mountain that falls is undone , and the rocks are removed out of their place . * The impetuous waters break the stones and wash away the dust of the earth ; in like manner thou dost cause man to lose hope . * Thou shalt be stronger than him for ever , and he passes ; thou dost change his countenance and send him away . * His sons shall be honoured and he shall not know [of it ]; or they shall be afflicted , but he shall not perceive of them . * But [while ] his flesh [is ] upon him , he shall have pain , and his soul within him shall mourn .:
