Verse
Job - ch 14 v 1 - 20
- "Man, who is born of a woman, is of few days, and full of trouble.
- He comes forth like a flower, and is cut down. He also flees like a shadow, and doesn't continue.
- Do you open your eyes on such a one, and bring me into judgment with you?
- Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one.
- Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months is with you, and you have appointed his bounds that he can't pass;
- Look away from him, that he may rest, until he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day.
- "For there is hope for a tree, If it is cut down, that it will sprout again, that the tender branch of it will not cease.
- Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stock dies in the ground,
- yet through the scent of water it will bud, and put forth boughs like a plant.
- But man dies, and is laid low. Yes, man gives up the spirit, and where is he?
- As the waters fail from the sea, and the river wastes and dries up,
- so man lies down and doesn't rise. Until the heavens are no more, they shall not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.
- "Oh that you would hide me in Sheol, that you would keep me secret, until your wrath is past, that you would appoint me a set time, and remember me!
- If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my warfare would I wait, until my release should come.
- You would call, and I would answer you. You would have a desire to the work of your hands.
- But now you number my steps. Don't you watch over my sin?
- My disobedience is sealed up in a bag. You fasten up my iniquity.
- "But the mountain falling comes to nothing. The rock is removed out of its place;
- The waters wear the stones. The torrents of it wash away the dust of the earth. So you destroy the hope of man.
- You forever prevail against him, and he departs. You change his face, and send him away.
