ASV_Strong : Job 14
1. Man[H120], that is born[H3205] of a woman[H802], Is of few[H7116] days[H3117], and full[H7649] of trouble[H7267].
2. He cometh forth[H3318] like a flower[H6731], and is cut down[H5243]: He fleeth[H1272] also as a shadow[H6738], and continueth not[H5975].
3. And dost thou open[H6491] thine eyes[H5869] upon such a one[H2088], And bringest[H935] me into judgment with thee[H4941]?
4. Who can bring[H5414] a clean[H2889] thing out of an unclean[H2931]? not one[H259].
5. Seeing[H518] his days[H3117] are determined[H2782], The number[H4557] of his months[H2320] is with thee[H6213], And thou hast appointed his bounds[H2706] that he cannot pass[H5674];
6. Look[H8159] away from him[H2308], that he may rest, Till he shall accomplish[H7521], as a hireling[H7916], his day[H3117].
7. For there is[H3426] hope[H8615] of a tree[H6086], If it be cut down[H3772], that it will sprout again[H2498], And that the tender branch[H3127] thereof will not cease[H2308].
8. Though the root[H8328] thereof wax old[H2204] in the earth[H776], And the stock[H1503] thereof die[H4191] in the ground[H6083];
9. Yet through the scent[H7381] of water[H4325] it will bud[H6524], And put forth[H6213] boughs[H7105] like a plant[H5194].
10. But man[H1397] dieth[H4191], and is laid low[H2522]: Yea[H120], man giveth up the ghost[H1478], and where is he?
11. As the waters[H4325] fail[H235] from the sea[H3220], And the river[H5104] wasteth[H2717] and drieth up[H3001];
12. So man[H376] lieth down[H7901] and riseth[H6965] not[H8064]: Till the heavens be no more[H1115], they shall not awake[H6974], Nor be roused out[H5782] of their sleep[H8142].
13. Oh that[H5414] thou wouldest hide[H6845] me in Sheol[H7585], That thou wouldest keep me secret[H5641], until thy wrath[H639] be past[H7725], That thou wouldest appoint[H7896] me a set time[H2706], and remember me[H2142]!
14. If a man[H1397] die[H4191], shall he live[H2421] again[H3117]? All the days of my warfare[H6635] would I wait[H3176], Till my release[H2487] should come[H935].
15. Thou wouldest call[H7121], and I would answer[H6030] thee[H3700]: Thou wouldest have a desire to the work[H4639] of thy hands[H3027].
16. But now thou numberest[H5608] my steps[H6806]: Dost thou not watch[H8104] over my sin[H2403]?
17. My transgression[H6588] is sealed up[H2856] in a bag[H6872], And thou fastenest up[H2950] mine iniquity[H5771].
18. But[H199] the mountain[H2022] falling[H5307] cometh to nought[H5034]; And the rock[H6697] is removed[H6275] out of its place[H4725];
19. The waters[H4325] wear[H7833] the stones[H68]; The overflowings thereof wash away[H7857] the[H5599] dust[H6083] of the earth[H776]: So thou destroyest[H6] the hope[H8615] of man[H582].
20. Thou prevailest[H8630] for ever[H5331] against him[H1980], and he passeth; Thou changest[H8138] his countenance[H6440], and sendest him away[H7971].
21. His sons[H1121] come to honor[H3513], and he knoweth[H3045] it not[H6819]; And they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them[H995].
22. But his flesh[H1320] upon him hath pain[H3510], And his soul[H5315] within him mourneth[H56].
