Job 14

Common English Bible CEB

1 All of us are born of women, have few days, and are full of turmoil.

2 Like a flower, we bloom, then wither, flee like a shadow, and don't last.

3 (Yes, you open your eyes on this one; you bring me into trial against you.)

4 Who can make pure from impure? Nobody.

5 If our days are fixed, the number of our months with you, you set a statute and we can't exceed it.

6 Look away from us that we may rest, until we are satisfied like a worker at day's end.

7 Indeed there is hope for a tree. If it's cut down and still sprouting and its shoots don't fail,

8 if its roots age in the ground and its stump dies in the dust,

9 at the scent of water, it will bud and produce sprouts like a plant.

10 But a human dies and lies there; a person expires, and where is he?

11 Water vanishes from the sea; a river dries up completely.

12 But a human lies down and doesn't rise until the heavens cease; they don't get up and awaken from sleep.

13 I wish you would hide me in the underworld, conceal me until your anger passes, set a time for me, and remember me.

14 If people die, will they live again? All the days of my service I would wait until my restoration took place.

15 You would call, and I would answer you; you would long for your handiwork.

16 Though you now number my steps, you would not keep a record of my sin.

17 My rebellion is sealed in a bag; you would cover my sin.

18 But an eroding mountain breaks up, and rock is displaced.

19 Water wears away boulders; floods carry away soil; you destroy a people's hope.

20 You overpower them relentlessly, and they die; you change their appearance and send them away.

21 Their children achieve honor, and they don't know it; their children become insignificant, and they don't see it.

22 They only feel the pain of their body, and they mourn for themselves.

English Standard Version ESV

1 “Man who is born of a woman is few of days and full of trouble.

2 He comes out like a flower and withers; he flees like a shadow and continues not.

3 And 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? There is not one.

5 Since his days are determined, and the number of his months is with you, and you have appointed his limits that he cannot pass,

6 look away from him and leave him alone, that he may enjoy, like a hired hand, his day.

7 “For there is hope for a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that its shoots will not cease.

8 Though its root grow old in the earth, and its stump die in the soil,

9 yet at the scent of water it will bud and put out branches like a young plant.

10 But a man dies and is laid low; man breathes his last, and where is he?

11 As waters fail from a lake and a river wastes away and dries up,

12 so a man lies down and rises not again; till the heavens are no more he will not awake or be roused out of his sleep.

13 Oh that you would hide me in Sheol, that you would conceal me until your wrath be 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 service I would wait, till my renewal should come.

15 You would call, and I would answer you; you would long for the work of your hands.

16 For then you would number my steps; you would not keep watch over my sin;

17 my transgression would be sealed up in a bag, and you would cover over my iniquity.

18 “But the mountain falls and crumbles away, and the rock is removed from its place;

19 the waters wear away the stones; the torrents wash away the soil of the earth; so you destroy the hope of man.

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

21 His sons come to honor, and he does not know it; they are brought low, and he perceives it not.

22 He feels only the pain of his own body, and he mourns only for himself. ”
