Chap. XIIII. Againe Iob describeth the miseries of mans life. 3. Neuertheles Gods great prouidence towards him. 7. professeth his beleefe of the Resurrection.

1   Man borne of note woman, liuing a short time, is replenished with many mseiries.

2   Who as a flowre cometh forth and is destroyed, & fleeth as a shadow, & neuer abideth in the same state.

3   And doest thou counte it a worthy thing to open thine eies vpon such an one, and to bring him with thee into iudgement?

4   Who can make cleane him that is conceiued of vncleane seede? is it not thou which onlie art?

5   The daies of man are short, & the number of his monethes is with thee, thou hast appointed his limittes note which can not be passed.

6   Depart a litle from him, that he may rest, vntil his day wished for, come, euen as the hyred man.

7   A tree hath hope: if it be cut, it waxeth greene againe, and the boughes thereof spring.

8   If his roote be old in the earth, and the truncke therof be dead in the dust.

9   At the sent of water it shal spring, and bring forth leaues, as when it was

-- --

first planted.

10   But when man shal be dead, and naked and consumed, where is he I pray?

11   As if the waters should deparr out of the sea, and a riuer made emptie should be dried vp.

12   So man when he is a sleepe shal not rise agayne, til heauen perish, he shal not awake, nor rise vp out of his sleepe.

13   Who wil grant me this, that in hel thou protect me, and hide me, til thy furie passe, and appoynt me a time, wherin thou wilt remember me?

14   Shal man that is dead, thinkest thou, liue agayne? al the daies, in which I am now in warfare, I expect vntil my change do come.

15   Thou shalt cal me, and I shal answer thee: to the worke of thy handes thou shalt reach thy right hand.

16   Thou in dede hast numbred my steppes: but thou wilt spare my sinnes.

17   Thou hast sealed my offences as it were in a bag, but hast cured mine iniquitie.

18   A mountaine falling slideth downe, and a rock is remoued out of his place.

19   Waters make stones holow, and with inundation the earth by litle and litle is consumed: and men therfore thou shalt destroy in like maner.

20   Thou hast strengthened him a litle that he might passe away foreuer: thou shalt ch&abar;ge his face, and shalt send him forth.

21   Whether his children shal be noble, or vnnoble, he note shal not vnderstand.

22   But yet his flesh whiles he shal liue shal haue sorow, & his soule shal mourne vpon himself.
