| 14:1 |
Man, born of woman! Of few days, and full of trouble!
|
| 14:2 |
As a flower he hath gone forth, and is cut off, And he fleeth as a shadow and standeth not.
|
| 14:3 |
Also -- on this Thou hast opened Thine eyes, And dost bring me into judgment with Thee.
|
| 14:4 |
Who giveth a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
|
| 14:5 |
If determined are his days, The number of his months [are] with Thee, His limit Thou hast made, And he passeth not over;
|
| 14:6 |
Look away from off him that he may cease, Till he enjoy as an hireling his day.
|
| 14:7 |
For there is of a tree hope, if it be cut down, That again it doth change, That its tender branch doth not cease.
|
| 14:8 |
If its root becometh old in the earth, And its stem doth die in the dust,
|
| 14:9 |
From the fragrance of water it doth flourish, And hath made a crop as a plant.
|
| 14:10 |
And a man dieth, and becometh weak, And man expireth, and where [is] he?
|
| 14:11 |
Waters have gone away from a sea, And a river becometh waste and dry.
|
| 14:12 |
And man hath lain down, and riseth not, Till the wearing out of the heavens they awake not, Nor are roused from their sleep.
|
| 14:13 |
O that in Sheol Thou wouldst conceal me, Hide me till the turning of Thine anger, Set for me a limit, and remember me.
|
| 14:14 |
If a man dieth -- doth he revive? All days of my warfare I wait, till my change come.
|
| 14:15 |
Thou dost call, and I -- I answer Thee; To the work of Thy hands Thou hast desire.
|
| 14:16 |
But now, my steps Thou numberest, Thou dost not watch over my sin.
|
| 14:17 |
Sealed up in a bag [is] my transgression, And Thou sewest up mine iniquity.
|
| 14:18 |
And yet, a falling mountain wasteth away, And a rock is removed from its place.
|
| 14:19 |
Stones have waters worn away, Their outpourings wash away the dust of earth, And the hope of man Thou hast destroyed.
|
| 14:20 |
Thou prevailest [over] him for ever, and he goeth, He is changing his countenance, And Thou sendest him away.
|
| 14:21 |
Honoured are his sons, and he knoweth not; And they are little, and he attendeth not to them.
|
| 14:22 |
Only -- his flesh for him is pained, And his soul for him doth mourn.'
