Job 14

Brenton's English Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible

14:1

For a mortal born of a woman [is] short-lived, and full of wrath.

—

14:2

Or he falls like a flower that has bloomed; and he departs like a shadow, and cannot continue.

—

14:3

Hast thou not taken account even of him, and caused him to enter into judgment before thee?

—

14:4

For who shall be pure from uncleanness? not even one;

—

14:5

if even his life should be [but] one day upon the earth: and his months are numbered by him: thou hast appointed [him] for a time, and he shall by no means exceed [it].

—

14:6

Depart from him, that he may be quiet, and take pleasure in his life, [though] as a hireling.

—

14:7

For there is hope for a tree, even if it should be cut down, [that] it shall blossom again, and its branch shall not fail.

—

14:8

For though its root should grow old in the earth, and its stem die in the rock;

—

14:9

it will blossom from the scent of water, and will produce a crop, as one newly planted.

—

14:10

But a man that has died is utterly gone; and when a mortal has fallen, he is no more.

—

14:11

For the sea wastes in [length of] time, and a river fails and is dried up.

—

14:12

And man that has lain down [in death] shall certainly not rise again till the heaven be dissolved, and they shall not awake from their sleep.

—

14:13

For oh that thou hadst kept me in the grave, and hadst hidden me until thy wrath should cease, and thou shouldest set me a time in which thou wouldest remember me!

—

14:14

For if a man should die, shall he live [again], having accomplished the days of his life? I will wait till I exist again?

—

14:15

Then shalt thou call, and I will hearken to thee: but do not thou reject the work of thine hands.

—

14:16

But thou hast numbered my devices: and not one of my sins shall escape thee?

—

14:17

And thou hast sealed up my transgressions in a bag, and marked if I have been guilty of any transgression unawares.

—

14:18

And verily a mountain falling will utterly be destroyed, and a rock shall be worn out of its place.

—

14:19

The waters wear the stones, and waters falling headlong [overflow] a heap of the earth: and thou destroyest the hope of man.

—

14:20

Thou drivest him to an end, and he is gone: thou settest thy face against him, and sendest him away;

—

14:21

and though his children be multiplied, he knows [it] not; and if they be few, he is not aware.

—

14:22

But his flesh is in pain, and his soul mourns.
