Job 14:3-13

3 Will you even look at me, God, or put me on trial and judge me?

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

4 Nothing clean can ever come from anything as unclean as human beings.

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

5 The length of our lives is decided beforehand - the number of months we will live. You have settled it, and it can't be changed.

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

6 Look away from us and leave us alone; let us enjoy our hard life - if we can.

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

7 There is hope for a tree that has been cut down; it can come back to life and sprout.

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 Even though its roots grow old, and its stump dies in the ground,

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

9 with water it will sprout like a young plant.

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

10 But we die, and that is the end of us; we die, and where are we then?

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

11 Like rivers that stop running, and lakes that go dry,

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

12 people die, never to rise. They will never wake up while the sky endures; they will never stir from their sleep.

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 I wish you would hide me in the world of the dead; let me be hidden until your anger is over, and then set a time to remember me.

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!
