Iob 14

¹Man that is borne of a woman, is of few dayes, and full of trouble.

²Hee commeth forth like a flower, and is cut downe: he fleeth also, as a shaddow and continueth not.

³And doest thou open thine eies vpon such an one, and bringest me into iudgment with thee?

⁴Who can bring a cleane thing out of an vncleane? not one.

⁵Seeing his daies are determined, the number of his moneths are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot passe.

⁶Turne from him that hee may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hircling, his day.

⁷For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut downe, that it will sprout againe, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.

⁸Though the roote thereof waxe old in the earth, and the stocke thereof die in the ground:

⁹Yet through the sent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughes like a plant.

¹⁰But man dyeth, and wasteth away; yea, man giueth vp the ghost, and where is hee?

¹¹As the waters faile from the sea, and the floud decayeth and dryeth vp:

¹²So man lyeth downe, and riseth not, till the heauens be no more, they shall not awake; nor bee raised out of their sleepe.

¹³O that thou wouldest hide mee in the graue, that thou wouldest keepe me secret, vntill thy wrath bee past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me.

¹⁴If a man die, shall he liue againe? All the dayes of my appointed time will I waite, till my change come.

¹⁵Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt haue a desire to the worke of thine hands.

¹⁶For nowe thou numbrest my steppes, doest thou not watch ouer my sinne?

¹⁷My transgression is sealed vp in a bagge, and thou sowest vp mine iniquitie.

¹⁸And surely the mountaine falling commeth to nought: and the rocke is remoued out of his place.

¹⁹The waters weare the stones, thou washest away the things which growe out of the dust of the earth, and thou destroyest the hope of man.

²⁰Thou preuailest for euer against him, and hee passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.

²¹His sonnes come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought lowe, but he perceiueth it not of them.

²²But his flesh vpon him shall haue paine, and his soule within him shall mourne.
