Job 14

Job 14:1 Man born of woman is short of days, and full of turmoil.
Job 14:2 He comes forth like a flower and withers; he also flees like a shadow and does not stand.
Job 14:3 Also do You open Your eyes on such a one and bring me into judgment with You?
Job 14:4 Who gives a clean thing out of an unclean? No one!
Job 14:5 Since his days are fixed, the number of his months is with You, and You have appointed his bounds, and he cannot pass over;
Job 14:6 look away from him, so that he may rest, till he shall enjoy his day as a hireling.
Job 14:7 For there is hope of a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and its shoot will not cease.
Job 14:8 Though its root becomes old in the earth, and its stump dies in the dust,
Job 14:9 at the scent of water it will bud and bring forth branches like a plant.
Job 14:10 But man dies and is cut off, and man expires; and where is he?
Job 14:11 As the waters go away from the sea, and a river wastes away and dries up,
Job 14:12 even so man lies down and does not rise until the heavens are no more, they shall not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.
Job 14:13 Who will grant that You would hide me in Sheol; You would conceal me until Your anger turns back; that You would set a limit for me and remember me?
Job 14:14 If a man dies, will he revive? All the days of my warfare I will wait, until my change comes.
Job 14:15 You shall call, and I will answer You; You shall long to the work of Your hands.
Job 14:16 For now You number my steps; do You not watch over my sin?
Job 14:17 My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and You cover over my iniquity.
Job 14:18 And surely a falling mountain crumbles away, and the rock moves out of its place.
Job 14:19 The waters wear away stones; its outpouring washes the dust of the earth; and You cause the hope of man to perish.
Job 14:20 You overpower him forever, and he goes. You change his face and send him away.
Job 14:21 His sons come to honor, and he does not know; they fail, but he does not mark it.
Job 14:22 But his flesh is pained within him; and his soul mourns over him.

On this day...
