Job 14 — YLT

14Verse 1Man, born of woman! Of few days, and full of trouble!^{Verse 2}As a flower he hath gone forth, and is cut off, And he fleeth as a shadow and standeth not.^{Verse 3}Also — on this Thou hast opened Thine eyes, And dost bring me into judgment with Thee.^{Verse 4}Who giveth a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.^{Verse 5}If determined are his days, The number of his months [are] with Thee, His limit Thou hast made, And he passeth not over;^{Verse 6}Look away from off him that he may cease, Till he enjoy as an hireling his day.^{Verse 7}For there is of a tree hope, if it be cut down, That again it doth change, That its tender branch doth not cease.^{Verse 8}If its root becometh old in the earth, And its stem doth die in the dust,^{Verse 9}From the fragrance of water it doth flourish, And hath made a crop as a plant.^{Verse 10}And a man dieth, and becometh weak, And man expireth, and where [is] he?^{Verse 11}Waters have gone away from a sea, And a river becometh waste and dry.^{Verse 12}And man hath lain down, and riseth not, Till the wearing out of the heavens they awake not, Nor are roused from their sleep.^{Verse 13}O that in Sheol Thou wouldest conceal me, Hide me till the turning of Thine anger, Set for me a limit, and remember me.^{Verse 14}If a man dieth — doth he revive? All days of my warfare I wait, till my change come.^{Verse 15}Thou dost call, and I — I answer Thee; To the work of Thy hands Thou hast desire.^{Verse 16}But now, my steps Thou numberest, Thou dost not watch over my sin.^{Verse 17}Sealed up in a bag [is] my transgression, And Thou sewest up mine iniquity.^{Verse 18}And yet, a falling mountain wasteth away, And a rock is removed from its place.^{Verse 19}Stones have waters worn away, Their outpourings wash away the dust of earth, And the hope of man Thou hast destroyed.^{Verse 20}Thou prevailest [over] him for ever, and he goeth, He is changing his countenance, And Thou sendest him away.^{Verse 21}Honoured are his sons, and he knoweth not; And they are little, and he attendeth not to them.^{Verse 22}Only — his flesh for him is pained, And his soul for him doth mourn.'
