  14:1 ¶
For a mortal born of a woman [is] short lived, and full of wrath. |
|
14:1 ¶
Man°
[that is] born°°
of a woman°
[is] of few°
days,°
and full°
of trouble.° |
|
14:2
Or he falls like a flower that has bloomed; and he departs like a shadow, and cannot continue. |
|
14:2
He cometh forth°°
like a flower,°
and is cut down:°°
he fleeth°°
also as a shadow,°
and continueth°°
not.° |
|
14:3
Hast thou not taken account even of him, and caused him to enter into judgment before thee? |
|
14:3
And°
dost thou open°°
thine eyes°
upon°
such an one,°
and bringest°°
me into judgment°
with°
thee? |
|
14:4
For who shall be pure from uncleanness? not even one; |
|
14:4
Who°
can bring°°
a clean°
[thing] out of an unclean?°°
not°
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]. |
|
14:5
Seeing°
his days°
[are] determined,°°
the number°
of his months°
[are] with°
thee, thou hast appointed°°
his bounds°
that he cannot°
pass;°° |
|
14:6
Depart from him, that he may be quiet, and take pleasure in his life, [though] as a hireling. |
|
14:6
Turn°°
from°°
him, that he may rest,°°
till°
he shall accomplish,°°
as an hireling,°
his day.° |
|
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. |
|
14:7
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.°° |
|
14:8
For though its root should grow old in the earth, and its stem die in the rock; |
|
14:8
Though°
the root°
thereof wax old°°
in the earth,°
and the stock°
thereof die°°
in the ground;° |
|
14:9
it will blossom from the scent of water, and will produce a crop, as one newly planted. |
|
14:9
[Yet] through the scent°°
of water°
it will bud,°°
and bring forth°°
boughs°
like°
a plant.° |
|
14:10
But a man that has died is utterly gone; and when a mortal has fallen, he is no more. |
|
14:10
But man°
dieth,°°
and wasteth away:°°
yea, man°
giveth up the ghost,°°
and where°
[is] he? |
|
14:11
For the sea wastes in [length of] time, and a river fails and is dried up. |
|
14:11
[As] the waters°
fail°°
from°
the sea,°
and the flood°
decayeth°°
and drieth 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. |
|
14:12
So man°
lieth down,°°
and riseth°°
not:°
till°
the heavens°
[be] no more,°
they shall not°
awake,°°
nor°
be raised°
out°°
of their sleep.°° |
|
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! |
|
14:13
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! |
|
14:14
For if a man should die, shall he live [again], having accomplished the days of his life? I will wait till I exist again? |
|
14:14
If°
a man°
die,°°
shall he live°°
[again]? all°
the days°
of my appointed time°
will I wait,°°
till°
my change°
come.°° |
|
14:15
Then shalt thou call, and I will hearken to thee: but do not thou reject the work of thine hands. |
|
14:15
Thou shalt call,°°
and I°
will answer°°
thee: thou wilt have a desire°°
to the work°
of thine hands.° |
|
14:16
But thou hast numbered my devices: and not one of my sins shall escape thee? |
|
14:16
For°
now°
thou numberest°°
my steps:°
dost thou not°
watch°°
over°
my sin?° |
|
14:17
An thou hast sealed up my transgressions in a bag, and marked if I have been guilty of any transgression unawares. |
|
14:17
My transgression°
[is] sealed up°°
in a bag,°
and thou sewest up°°°
mine iniquity.° |
|
14:18
And verily a mountain falling will utterly be destroyed, and a rock shall be worn out of its place. |
|
14:18
And surely°
the mountain°
falling°°
cometh to nought,°°
and the rock°
is removed°°
out of his 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. |
|
14:19
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.° |
|
14:20
Thou drivest him to an end, and he is gone: thou settest thy face against him, and sendest him away; |
|
14:20
Thou prevailest°°
for ever°
against him, and he passeth:°°
thou changest°°
his countenance,°
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. |
|
14:21
His sons°
come to honour,°°
and he knoweth°°
[it] not;°
and they are brought low,°°
but he perceiveth°°
[it] not°
of them.° |
|
14:22
But his flesh is in pain, and his soul mourns. |
|
14:22
But°
his flesh°
upon°
him shall have pain,°°
and his soul°
within°
him shall mourn.°° |
