CHAP. XIIII.
1 Iob intreateth God for fauour, by the shortnes
of life, and certainty of death. 7 Though
life once lost be irrecouerable, yet he waiteth
for his change. 16 By sinne the Creature is
subiect to corruption.
1
Man that is borne of a
woman, is note of few dayes,
and full of trouble.
2
noteHee commeth forth
like a flower, and is cut
downe: he fleeth also, as a
shaddow and continueth not.
3
And doest thou open thine eies
vpon such an one, and bringest me into
iudgment with thee?
4
noteWho note can bring a cleane thing
out of an vncleane? not one.
5
noteSeeing his daies are determined,
the number of his moneths are with
thee, thou hast appointed his bounds
that he cannot passe.
6
Turne from him that hee may
note rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hircling,
his day.
7
For there is hope of a tree, if it be
cut downe, that it will sprout againe,
and that the tender branch thereof will
not cease.
The breuitie of mans life.
8
Though the roote thereof waxe
old in the earth, and the stocke thereof
die in the ground:
9
Yet through the sent of water it
will bud, and bring forth boughes like
a plant.
10
But man dyeth, and note wasteth away;
yea, man giueth vp the ghost, and
where is hee?
11
As the waters faile from the sea,
and the floud decayeth and dryeth vp:
12
So man lyeth downe, and riseth
not, till the heauens be no more, they
shall not awake; nor bee raised out of
their sleepe.
13
O that thou wouldest hide mee in
the graue, that thou wouldest keepe me
secret, vntill thy wrath bee past, that
thou wouldest appoint me a set time,
and remember me.
14
If a man die, shall he liue againe?
All the dayes of my appointed time will
I waite, till my change come.
15
Thou shalt call, and I will answer
thee: thou wilt haue a desire to the
worke of thine hands.
16
noteFor nowe thou numbrest my
steppes, doest thou not watch ouer my
sinne?
17
My transgression is sealed vp in a
bagge, and thou sowest vp mine iniquitie.
18
And surely the mountaine falling
note commeth to nought: and the rocke is
remoued out of his place.
19
The waters weare the stones,
thou note washest away the things which
growe out of the dust of the earth, and
thou destroyest the hope of man.
20
Thou preuailest for euer against
him, and hee passeth: thou changest his
countenance, and sendest him away.
21
His sonnes come to honour, and
he knoweth it not; and they are brought
lowe, but he perceiueth it not of them.
22
But his flesh vpon him shall haue
paine, and his soule within him shall
mourne.
