1902 Rotherham's Emphasized Bible (EBR)
Job 14
1 Job intreateth God for favour, by the shortness of life, and certainty of death. 7 Though life once lost be irrecoverable, yet he waiteth for his change. 16 By sin the creature is subject to corruption.

14:1 ¶
Man that is born of a woman, is of few days, and full of trouble:

14:2
As a flower, he cometh forthand fadeth, He fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.

14:3
And yet upon such a one as this, hast thou opened thine eye? And, him, wouldst thou bring into judgment with thee?

14:4

14:5
If determined am his days, the number of his months, is with thee, Fixed times for him, thou hast appointed and he cannot go beyond.

14:6

14:7 ¶
Though there isfor a treehope,if it should be cut down, that, again, it will grow, and, the tender branch thereof, will not cease;

14:8

14:9
Through the scent of water, it may break forth, and produce branches like a sapling,

14:10
Yet, man, dieth, and is prostrate, Yea the son of earth doth cease to breathe, and where is he?

14:11
Waters, have failed from, the sea, and, a river, may waste and dry up;

14:12
So, a man, hath lain down, and shall not arise, until there are no heavens, they shall not awake, nor be roused up out of their sleep.

14:13
Oh that, in hades, thou wouldst hide me! that thou wouldst keep me secret, until the turn of thine anger, that thou wouldst set for me a fixed time, and remember me:

14:14
If a man die, can he live again? All the days of my warfare, would I wait, until my relief should come:

14:20

14:21

14:22
But, his flesh, for himself, is in pain, and, his soul, for himself, doth mourn.
