Job
Speaks of the Finality of Death |
|
|
 |
| Job 14:1 |
|
"Man, who is born of woman, Is short-lived and
full of turmoil. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 14:2 |
|
"Like a flower he comes forth and withers. He
also flees like a shadow and does not remain. |
| |
|
|
| Job 14:3 |
|
"You also open Your eyes on him And bring him
into judgment with Yourself. |
| |
|
|
| Job 14:4 |
|
"Who can make the clean out of the unclean?
No one! |
| |
|
|
| Job 14:5 |
|
"Since his days are determined, The number of
his months is with You; And his limits You have set so that he cannot pass. |
| |
|
|
| Job 14:6 |
|
"Turn Your gaze from him that he may rest, Until
he fulfills his day like a hired man. |
| |
|
|
| Job 14:7 |
|
"For there is hope for a tree, When it is cut
down, that it will sprout again, And its shoots will not fail. |
|
|
|

|
"Though its roots grow old in the ground And
its stump dies in the dry soil, |
|
|
|
| Job 14:9 |
|
At the scent of water it will flourish And put
forth sprigs like a plant. |
|
|
|
| Job 14:10 |
|
"But man dies and lies prostrate. Man expires,
and where is he? |
|
|
|
| Job 14:11 |
|
"As water evaporates from the sea, And a river
becomes parched and dried up, |
|
|
|
| Job 14:12 |
|
So man lies down and does not rise. Until the
heavens are no longer, He will not awake nor be aroused out of his sleep. |
|
|
|
| Job 14:13 |
|
"Oh that You would hide me in Sheol, That You
would conceal me until Your wrath returns to You, That You would set a limit for
me and remember me! |
|
|
|
| Job 14:14 |
|
"If a man dies, will he live again? All the
days of my struggle I will wait Until my change comes. |
|
|
|
| Job 14:15 |
|
"You will call, and I will answer You; You will
long for the work of Your hands. |
|
|
|
| Job 14:16 |
|
"For now You number my steps, You do not observe
my sin. |
|
|
|
| Job 14:17 |
|
"My transgression is sealed up in a bag, And
You wrap up my iniquity. |
|
|
|
| Job 14:18 |
|
"But the falling mountain crumbles away, And
the rock moves from its place; |
|
|
|
| Job 14:19 |
|
Water wears away stones, Its torrents wash away
the dust of the earth; So You destroy man's hope. |
| |
|
|
| Job 14:20 |
|
"You forever overpower him and he departs; You
change his appearance and send him away. |
| |
|
|
| Job 14:21 |
|
"His sons achieve honor, but he does not know
it; Or they become insignificant, but he does not perceive it. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 14:22 |
|
"But his body pains him, And he mourns only
for himself." |
