Ayub 14:1-22

The Brevity of Life

14:1 “Man, born of woman,

lives but a few days, and they are full of trouble.

14:2 He grows up like a flower and then withers away;

he flees like a shadow, and does not remain.

14:3 Do you fix your eye on such a one?

And do you bring me before you for judgment?

14:4 Who can make 10  a clean thing come from an unclean? 11 

No one!

14:5 Since man’s days 12  are determined, 13 

the number of his months is under your control; 14 

you have set his limit 15  and he cannot pass it.

14:6 Look away from him and let him desist, 16 

until he fulfills 17  his time like a hired man.

The Inevitability of Death

14:7 “But there is hope for 18  a tree: 19 

If it is cut down, it will sprout again,

and its new shoots will not fail.

14:8 Although its roots may grow old 20  in the ground

and its stump begins to die 21  in the soil, 22 

14:9 at the scent 23  of water it will flourish 24 

and put forth 25  shoots like a new plant.

14:10 But man 26  dies and is powerless; 27 

he expires – and where is he? 28 

14:11 As 29  water disappears from the sea, 30 

or a river drains away and dries up,

14:12 so man lies down and does not rise;

until the heavens are no more, 31 

they 32  will not awake

nor arise from their sleep.

The Possibility of Another Life

14:13 “O that 33  you would hide me in Sheol, 34 

and conceal me till your anger has passed! 35 

O that you would set me a time 36 

and then remember me! 37 

14:14 If a man dies, will he live again? 38 

All the days of my hard service 39  I will wait 40 

until my release comes. 41 

14:15 You will call 42  and I 43  – I will answer you;

you will long for 44  the creature you have made. 45 

The Present Condition 46 

14:16 “Surely now you count my steps; 47 

then you would not mark 48  my sin. 49 

14:17 My offenses would be sealed up 50  in a bag; 51 

you would cover over 52  my sin.

14:18 But as 53  a mountain falls away and crumbles, 54 

and as a rock will be removed from its place,

14:19 as water wears away stones,

and torrents 55  wash away the soil, 56 

so you destroy man’s hope. 57 

14:20 You overpower him once for all, 58 

and he departs;

you change 59  his appearance

and send him away.

14:21 If 60  his sons are honored, 61 

he does not know it; 62 

if they are brought low,

he does not see 63  it.

14:22 Only his flesh has pain for himself, 64 

and he mourns for himself.” 65
