Holy Bible - NASB77 - Job 14 - www.jingbaiyesujidu.com

14:1	"Man, who is born of woman, Is short-lived and full of turmoil.
14:2	"Like a flower he comes forth and withers. He also flees like a shadow and does not remain.
14:3	"Thou also dost open Thine eyes on him, And bring him into judgment with Thyself.
14:4	"Who can make the clean out of the unclean? No one!
14:5	"Since his days are determined, The number of his months is with Thee, And his limits Thou hast set so that he cannot pass.
14:6	"Turn Thy gaze from him that he may rest, Until he fulfills his day like a hired man.
14:7	"For there is hope for a tree, When it is cut down, that it will sprout again, And its shoots will not fail.
14:8	"Though its roots grow old in the ground, And its stump dies in the dry soil,
14:9	At the scent of water it will flourish And put forth sprigs like a plant.
14:10	"But man dies and lies prostrate. Man expires, and where is he?
14:11	"[As] water evaporates from the sea, And a river becomes parched and dried up,
14:12	So man lies down and does not rise. Until the heavens be no more, He will not awake nor be aroused out of his sleep.
14:13	"Oh that Thou wouldst hide me in Sheol, That Thou wouldst conceal me until Thy wrath returns [to Thee], That Thou wouldst set a limit for me and remember me!
14:14	"If a man dies, will he live [again]? All the days of my struggle I will wait, Until my change comes.
14:15	"Thou wilt call, and I will answer Thee; Thou wilt long for the work of Thy hands.
14:16	"For now Thou dost number my steps, Thou dost not observe my sin.
14:17	"My transgression is sealed up in a bag, And Thou dost wrap up my iniquity.
14:18	"But the falling mountain crumbles away, And the rock moves from its place;
14:19	Water wears away stones, Its torrents wash away the dust of the earth; So Thou dost destroy man's hope.
14:20	"Thou dost forever overpower him and he departs; [Thou] dost change his appearance and send him away.
14:21	"His sons achieve honor, but he does not know [it]; Or they become insignificant, but he does not perceive it.
14:22	"But his body pains him, And he mourns only for himself."
