Job 14

World English Bible WEB

1 "Man, who is born of a woman, Is of few days, and full of trouble.

2 He comes forth like a flower, and is cut down. He also flees like a shadow, and doesn't continue.

3 Do you open your eyes on such a one, And bring me into judgment with you?

4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one.

5 Seeing his days are determined, The number of his months is with you, And you have appointed his bounds that he can't pass;

6 Look away from him, that he may rest, Until he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day.

7 "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.

8 Though the root of it grows old in the earth, And the stock of it dies in the ground;

9 Yet through the scent of water it will bud, And put forth boughs like a plant.

10 But man dies, and is laid low. Yes, man gives up the spirit, and where is he?

11 As the waters fail from the sea, And the river wastes and dries up,

12 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.

13 "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!

14 If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my warfare would I wait, Until my release should come.

15 You would call, and I would answer you. You would have a desire to the work of your hands.

16 But now you number my steps. Don't you watch over my sin?

17 My disobedience is sealed up in a bag. You fasten up my iniquity.

18 "But the mountain falling comes to nothing; The rock is removed out of its place;

19 The waters wear the stones; The torrents of it wash away the dust of the earth: So you destroy the hope of man.

20 You forever prevail against him, and he passes; You change his face, and send him away.

21 His sons come to honor, and he doesn't know it; They are brought low, but he doesn't perceive it of them.

22 But his flesh on him has pain; His soul within him mourns."

New International Version NIV

1 “Mortals, born of woman, are of few days and full of trouble.

2 They spring up like flowers and wither away; like fleeting shadows, they do not endure.

3 Do you fix your eye on them? Will you bring them before you for judgment?

4 Who can bring what is pure from the impure? No one!

5 A person’s days are determined; you have decreed the number of his months and have set limits he cannot exceed.

6 So look away from him and let him alone, till he has put in his time like a hired laborer.

7 “At least there is hope for a tree: If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its new shoots will not fail.

8 Its roots may grow old in the ground and its stump die in the soil,

9 yet at the scent of water it will bud and put forth shoots like a plant.

10 But a man dies and is laid low; he breathes his last and is no more.

11 As the water of a lake dries up or a riverbed becomes parched and dry,

12 so he lies down and does not rise; till the heavens are no more, people will not awake or be roused from their sleep.

13 “If only you would hide me in the grave and conceal me till your anger has passed! If only you would set me a time and then remember me!

14 If someone dies, will they live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait for my renewal to come.

15 You will call and I will answer you; you will long for the creature your hands have made.

16 Surely then you will count my steps but not keep track of my sin.

17 My offenses will be sealed up in a bag; you will cover over my sin.

18 “But as a mountain erodes and crumbles and as a rock is moved from its place,

19 as water wears away stones and torrents wash away the soil, so you destroy a person’s hope.

20 You overpower them once for all, and they are gone; you change their countenance and send them away.

21 If their children are honored, they do not know it; if their offspring are brought low, they do not see it.

22 They feel but the pain of their own bodies and mourn only for themselves.”
