Job:14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Man that is born of a woman ,
is of few days ,
and full of trouble :
*
As a flower ,
he cometh forthand fadeth ,
He fleeth also as a shadow ,
and continueth not .
*
And yet upon such a one as this ,
hast thou opened thine eye ?
And ,
him ,
wouldst thou bring into judgment with thee ?
*
Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean ?
Not one !
*
If determined am his days ,
the number of his months ,
is with thee ,
Fixed times for him ,
thou hast appointed and he cannot go beyond .
*
Look sway from him ,
that he may rest ,
Till he shall pay off ,
as a hireling ,
his day .
*
Though there isfor a treehope ,
if it should be cut down ,
that ,
again ,
it will grow ,
and ,
the tender branch thereof ,
will not cease ;
*
If its root ,
should become old in the earth ,
and ,
in the dust ,
its stock should die :
*
Through the scent of water ,
it may break forth ,
and produce branches like a sapling ,
*
Yet ,
man ,
dieth ,
and is prostrate ,
Yea the son of earth doth cease to breathe ,
and where is he ?
*
Waters ,
have failed from ,
the sea ,
and ,
a river ,
may waste and dry up ;
*
So ,
a man ,
hath lain down ,
and shall not arise ,
until there are no heavens ,
they shall not awake ,
nor be roused up out of their sleep .
*
Oh that ,
in hades ,
thou wouldst hide me !
that thou wouldst keep me secret ,
until the turn of thine anger ,
that thou wouldst set for me a fixed time ,
and remember me :
*
If a man die ,
can he live again ?
All the days of my warfare ,
would I wait ,
until my relief should come :
*
Thou shouldst call ,
and ,
I ,
would answer thee ,
For the work of thine own hand ,
thou shouldst long .
*
For ,
now ,
my steps ,
thou countest ,
Thou wilt not pass over my sin :
*
Sealed up in a bag ,
is my transgression ,
and thou hast glued over mine iniquity .
*
But ,
in very deed ,
a mountain falling ,
will lie prostrate ,
or ,
a rock moved out of its place :
*
Stones ,
have been hollowed out by waters ,
the floods thereof wash away the dust of the earth ,
and ,
the hope of mortal man ,
thou hast destroyed :
*
Thou dost overpower him utterly ,
and he departeth ,
Disfiguring his face ,
so ,
hast thou sent him away .
*
His sons ,
come to honour ,
and he knoweth it not ,
Or they are brought low ,
and he perceiveth it not of them .
*
But ,
his flesh ,
for himself ,
is in pain ,
and ,
his soul ,
for himself ,
doth mourn .
