1Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble.Select Job 14:1

2He comes forth like a flower, and is cut down: he flees also as a shadow, and continues not.Select Job 14:2

4Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.Select Job 14:4

5Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with you, you have appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;Select Job 14:5

6Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day.Select Job 14:6

7For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.Select Job 14:7

8Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;Select Job 14:8

9Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.Select Job 14:9

10But man dies, and wastes away: yes, man gives up the ghost, and where is he?Select Job 14:10

11As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decays and dries up:Select Job 14:11

12So man lies down, and rises not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.Select Job 14:12

13O that you would hide me in the grave, that you would keep me secret, until your wrath be past, that you would appoint me a set time, and remember me!Select Job 14:13

14If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.Select Job 14:14

15You shall call, and I will answer you: you will have a desire to the work of your hands.Select Job 14:15

16For now you number my steps: do you not watch over my sin?Select Job 14:16

17My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and you sew up my iniquity.Select Job 14:17

18And surely the mountains falling comes to nothing, and the rock is removed out of his place.Select Job 14:18

19The waters wear the stones: you wash away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and you destroy the hope of man.Select Job 14:19

20You prevail for ever against him, and he passes: you change his countenance, and send him away.Select Job 14:20

21His sons come to honor, and he knows it not; and they are brought low, but he perceives it not of them.Select Job 14:21

22But his flesh on him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.Select Job 14:22
