If a Man Dies, Will He Live Again?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:1 -

“Man, who is born of woman,

Is [fn]short-lived and full of turmoil.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:2 -

“Like a flower he comes forth and withers.

He also flees like a shadow and does not stand.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:3 -

“You also open Your eyes on him

And bring [fn]me into judgment with Yourself.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:4 -

“Who can make the clean out of the unclean?

No one!

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:5 -

“Since his days are determined,

The number of his months is with You;

And his limits You have [fn]set so that he cannot pass.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:6 -

“Turn Your gaze from him that he may cease from toil,

Until he accepts his day like a hired man.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:7 -

“For there is hope for a tree,

When it is cut down, that it will change back sprouting again,

And its shoots will not cease.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:8 -

“Though its roots grow old in the ground

And its stump dies in the dry soil,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:9 -

At the scent of water it will flourish

And put forth sprigs like a plant.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:10 -

“But man dies and lies prostrate.

Man breathes his last, and where is he?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:11 -

As water [fn]evaporates from the sea,

And a river becomes parched and dried up,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:12 -

So man lies down and does not rise.

Until the heavens are no longer,

[fn]He will not awake nor be aroused out of [fn]his sleep.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:13 -

“Oh that You would conceal me in Sheol,

That You would hide me until Your anger returns to You,

That You would set a limit for me and remember me!

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:14 -

“If a man dies, will he live again?

All the days of my labor I will wait

Until my change comes.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:15 -

“You will call, and I will answer You;

You will long for the work of Your hands.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:16 -

“For now You number my steps,

You do not keep watch over my sin.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:17 -

“My transgression is sealed up in a bag,

And You [fn]cover up my iniquity.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:18 -

“But the falling mountain [fn]crumbles away,

And the rock moves from its place;

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:19 -

Water wears away stones;

Its torrents wash away the dust of the earth;

So You make man’s hope perish.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:20 -

“You forever overpower him and he goes away;

You alter his appearance and send him away.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:21 -

“His sons achieve honor, but he does not know it;

Or they become insignificant, but he does not perceive it.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:22 -

“But his flesh pains him,

And he mourns only for himself.”
