Job chapter 14
English Standard Version
1
"Man who is born of a woman
is few of days and full of trouble.
2
He comes out like a flower and withers;
he flees like a shadow and continues not.
3
And do you open your eyes on such a one
and bring me into judgment with you?
4
Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?
There is not one.
5
Since his days are determined,
and the number of his months is with you,
and you have appointed his limits that he cannot pass,
6
look away from him and leave him alone,
that he may enjoy, like a hired hand, his day.
7
"For there is hope for a tree,
if it be cut down, that it will sprout again,
and that its shoots will not cease.
8
Though its root grow old in the earth,
and its stump die in the soil,
9
yet at the scent of water it will bud
and put out branches like a young plant.
10
But a man dies and is laid low;
man breathes his last, and where is he?
11
As waters fail from a lake
and a river wastes away and dries up,
12
so a man lies down and rises not again;
till the heavens are no more he will not awake
or be roused out of his sleep.
13
Oh that you would hide me in Sheol,
that you would conceal me until your wrath be past,
that you would appoint me a set time, and remember me!
14
If a man dies, shall he live again?
All the days of my service I would wait,
till my renewal should come.
15
You would call, and I would answer you;
you would long for the work of your hands.
16
For then you would number my steps;
you would not keep watch over my sin;
17
my transgression would be sealed up in a bag,
and you would cover over my iniquity.
18
"But the mountain falls and crumbles away,
and the rock is removed from its place;
19
the waters wear away the stones;
the torrents wash away the soil of the earth;
so you destroy the hope of man.
20
You prevail forever against him, and he passes;
you change his countenance, and send him away.
21
His sons come to honor, and he does not know it;
they are brought low, and he perceives it not.
22
He feels only the pain of his own body,
and he mourns only for himself."
New International Version
1
"Mortals, born of woman,
are of few days and full of trouble.
2
They spring up like flowers and wither away;
like fleeting shadows, they do not endure.
3
Do you fix your eye on them?
Will you bring them before you for judgment?
4
Who can bring what is pure from the impure?
No one!
5
A person’s days are determined;
you have decreed the number of his months
and have set limits he cannot exceed.
6
So look away from him and let him alone,
till he has put in his time like a hired laborer.
7
"At least there is hope for a tree:
If it is cut down, it will sprout again,
and its new shoots will not fail.
8
Its roots may grow old in the ground
and its stump die in the soil,
9
yet at the scent of water it will bud
and put forth shoots like a plant.
10
But a man dies and is laid low;
he breathes his last and is no more.
11
As the water of a lake dries up
or a riverbed becomes parched and dry,
12
so he lies down and does not rise;
till the heavens are no more, people will not awake
or be roused from their sleep.
13
"If only you would hide me in the grave
and conceal me till your anger has passed!
If only you would set me a time
and then remember me!
14
If someone dies, will they live again?
All the days of my hard service
I will wait for my renewal to come.
15
You will call and I will answer you;
you will long for the creature your hands have made.
16
Surely then you will count my steps
but not keep track of my sin.
17
My offenses will be sealed up in a bag;
you will cover over my sin.
18
"But as a mountain erodes and crumbles
and as a rock is moved from its place,
19
as water wears away stones
and torrents wash away the soil,
so you destroy a person’s hope.
20
You overpower them once for all, and they are gone;
you change their countenance and send them away.
21
If their children are honored, they do not know it;
if their offspring are brought low, they do not see it.
22
They feel but the pain of their own bodies
and mourn only for themselves."
New American Standard Bible
1
'Man, who is born of woman,
Is short-lived and full of turmoil.
2
Like a flower he comes out and withers.
He also flees like a shadow and does not remain.
3
You also open Your eyes on him
And bring him into judgment with Yourself.
4
Who can make the clean out of the unclean?
No one!
5
Since his days are determined,
The number of his months is with You;
And You have set his limits so that he cannot pass.
6
Look away from him so that he may rest,
Until he fulfills his day like a hired worker.
7
'For there is hope for a tree,
When it is cut down, that it will sprout again,
And its shoots will not fail.
8
Though its roots grow old in the ground,
And its stump dies in the dry soil,
9
At the scent of water it will flourish
And produce sprigs like a plant.
10
But a man dies and lies prostrate.
A person passes away, and where is he?
11
As
water evaporates from the sea,
And a river becomes parched and dried up,
12
So a man lies down and does not rise.
Until the heavens no longer exist,
He will not awake nor be woken from his sleep.
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!
14
If a man dies, will he live
again?
All the days of my struggle I will wait
Until my relief comes.
15
You will call, and I will answer You;
You will long for the work of Your hands.
16
For now You number my steps,
You do not observe my sin.
17
My wrongdoing is sealed up in a bag,
And You cover over my guilt.
18
'But the falling mountain crumbles away,
And the rock moves from its place;
19
Water wears away stones,
Its torrents wash away the dust of the earth;
So You destroy a man’s hope.
20
You forever overpower him and he departs;
You
change his appearance and send him away.
21
His sons achieve honor, but he does not know
it;
Or they become insignificant, and he does not perceive it.
22
However, his body pains him,
And his soul mourns for himself.'
Christian Standard Bible
1
Anyone born of woman
is short of days and full of trouble.
2
He blossoms like a flower, then withers;
he flees like a shadow and does not last.
3
Do you really take notice of one like this?
Will you bring me into judgment against you?
4
Who can produce something pure from what is impure?
No one!
5
Since a person’s days are determined
and the number of his months depends on you,
and since you have set limits he cannot pass,
6
look away from him and let him rest
so that he can enjoy his day like a hired worker.
7
There is hope for a tree:
If it is cut down, it will sprout again,
and its shoots will not die.
8
If its roots grow old in the ground
and its stump starts to die in the soil,
9
the scent of water makes it thrive
and produce twigs like a sapling.
10
But a person dies and fades away;
he breathes his last—where is he?
11
As water disappears from a lake
and a river becomes parched and dry,
12
so people lie down never to rise again.
They will not wake up until the heavens are no more;
they will not stir from their sleep.
13
If only you would hide me in Sheol
and conceal me until your anger passes.
If only you would appoint a time for me
and then remember me.
14
When a person dies, will he come back to life?
If so, I would wait all the days of my struggle
until my relief comes.
15
You would call, and I would answer you.
You would long for the work of your hands.
16
For then you would count my steps
but would not take note of my sin.
17
My rebellion would be sealed up in a bag,
and you would cover over my iniquity.
18
But as a mountain collapses and crumbles
and a rock is dislodged from its place,
19
as water wears away stones
and torrents wash away the soil from the land,
so you destroy a man’s hope.
20
You completely overpower him, and he passes on;
you change his appearance and send him away.
21
If his sons receive honor, he does not know it;
if they become insignificant, he is unaware of it.
22
He feels only the pain of his own body
and mourns only for himself.
New Living Translation
1
'How frail is humanity!
How short is life, how full of trouble!
2
We blossom like a flower and then wither.
Like a passing shadow, we quickly disappear.
3
Must you keep an eye on such a frail creature
and demand an accounting from me?
4
Who can bring purity out of an impure person?
No one!
5
You have decided the length of our lives.
You know how many months we will live,
and we are not given a minute longer.
6
So leave us alone and let us rest!
We are like hired hands, so let us finish our work in peace.
7
'Even a tree has more hope!
If it is cut down, it will sprout again
and grow new branches.
8
Though its roots have grown old in the earth
and its stump decays,
9
at the scent of water it will bud
and sprout again like a new seedling.
10
'But when people die, their strength is gone.
They breathe their last, and then where are they?
11
As water evaporates from a lake
and a river disappears in drought,
12
people are laid to rest and do not rise again.
Until the heavens are no more, they will not wake up
nor be roused from their sleep.
13
'I wish you would hide me in the grave
and forget me there until your anger has passed.
But mark your calendar to think of me again!
14
Can the dead live again?
If so, this would give me hope through all my years of struggle,
and I would eagerly await the release of death.
15
You would call and I would answer,
and you would yearn for me, your handiwork.
16
For then you would guard my steps,
instead of watching for my sins.
17
My sins would be sealed in a pouch,
and you would cover my guilt.
18
'But instead, as mountains fall and crumble
and as rocks fall from a cliff,
19
as water wears away the stones
and floods wash away the soil,
so you destroy people’s hope.
20
You always overpower them, and they pass from the scene.
You disfigure them in death and send them away.
21
They never know if their children grow up in honor
or sink to insignificance.
22
They suffer painfully;
their life is full of trouble.'
King James Version
1
Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.
2
He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
3
And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?
4
Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
5
Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
6
Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day.
7
For 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.
8
Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
9
Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
10
But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
11
As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:
12
So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
13
O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!
14
If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
15
Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.
16
For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?
17
My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity.
18
And surely the mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of his place.
19
The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.
20
Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
21
His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.
22
But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.
New King James Version
1
“Man
who is
born of woman
Is of few days and full of trouble.
2
He comes forth like a flower and fades away;
He flees like a shadow and does not continue.
3
And do You open Your eyes on such a one,
And bring me to judgment with Yourself?
4
Who can bring a clean
thing
out of an unclean?
No one!
5
Since his days
are
determined,
The number of his months
is
with You;
You have appointed his limits, so that he cannot pass.
6
Look away from him that he may rest,
Till like a hired man he finishes his day.
7
“For there is hope for a tree,
If it is cut down, that it will sprout again,
And that its tender shoots will not cease.
8
Though its root may grow old in the earth,
And its stump may die in the ground,
9
Yet
at the scent of water it will bud
And bring forth branches like a plant.
10
But man dies and is laid away;
Indeed he breathes his last
And where
is
he?
11
As
water disappears from the sea,
And a river becomes parched and dries up,
12
So man lies down and does not rise.
Till the heavens
are
no more,
They will not awake
Nor be roused from their sleep.
13
“Oh, that You would hide me in the grave,
That You would conceal me until Your wrath is past,
That You would appoint me a set time, and remember me!
14
If a man dies, shall he live
again?
All the days of my hard service I will wait,
Till my change comes.
15
You shall call, and I will answer You;
You shall desire the work of Your hands.
16
For now You number my steps,
But do not watch over my sin.
17
My transgression
is
sealed up in a bag,
And You cover my iniquity.
18
“But
as
a mountain falls
and
crumbles away,
And
as
a rock is moved from its place;
19
As
water wears away stones,
And as
torrents wash away the soil of the earth;
So You destroy the hope of man.
20
You prevail forever against him, and he passes on;
You change his countenance and send him away.
21
His sons come to honor, and he does not know
it;
They are brought low, and he does not perceive
it.
22
But his flesh will be in pain over it,
And his soul will mourn over it.”
