Job 14 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

“Like a flower ^H6731 he comes ^H3318 forth ^H3318 and withers ^H4448.

He also flees ^H1272 like a shadow ^H6738 and does not stand ^H5975.

“You also ^H637 open ^H6491 Your eyes ^H5869 on him

And bring ^H935 [fn]me into judgment ^H4941 with Yourself.

“Who ^H4310 can make ^H5414 the clean ^H2889 out of the unclean ^H2931?

No ^H3808 one ^H259!

“Since ^H518 his days ^H3117 are determined ^H2782,

The number ^H4557 of his months ^H2320 is with You;

And his limits ^H2706 You have [fn]set ^H6213 so that he cannot ^H3808 pass ^H5674.

“Turn ^H8159 Your gaze ^H8159 from him that he may cease ^H2308 from toil,

Until ^H5704 he accepts ^H7521 his day ^H3117 like a hired ^H7916 man ^H7916.

“For there ^H3426 is ^H3426 hope ^H8615 for a tree ^H6086,

When ^H518 it is cut ^H3772 down ^H3772, that it will change ^H2498 back sprouting again ^H5750,

And its shoots ^H3127 will not cease ^H2308.

“Though ^H518 its roots ^H8328 grow ^H2204 old ^H2204 in the ground ^H776

And its stump ^H1503 dies ^H4191 in the dry ^H6083 soil ^H6083,

At the scent ^H7381 of water ^H4325 it will flourish ^H6524

And put ^H6213 forth ^H6213 sprigs ^H7105 like ^H3644 a plant ^H5194.

“But man ^H1397 dies ^H4191 and lies ^H2522 prostrate ^H2522.

Man ^H120 breathes ^H1478 his last ^H1478, and where ^H335 is he?

“As water ^H4325 [fn]evaporates ^H235 from the sea ^H3220,

And a river ^H5104 becomes ^H2717 parched ^H2717 and dried ^H3001 up ^H3001,

So man ^H376 lies ^H7901 down ^H7901 and does not rise ^H6965.

Until ^H5704 the heavens ^H8064 are no ^H1115 longer ^H1115,

[fn]He will not awake ^H6974 nor ^H3808 be aroused ^H5782 out of [fn]his sleep ^H8142.

“Oh ^H4310 H5414 that You would conceal ^H6845 me in Sheol ^H7585,

That You would hide ^H5641 me until ^H5704 Your anger ^H639 returns ^H7725 to You,

That You would set ^H7896 a limit ^H2706 for me and remember ^H2142 me!

“If ^H518 a man ^H1397 dies ^H4191, will he live ^H2421 again?

All ^H3605 the days ^H3117 of my labor ^H6635 I will wait ^H3176

Until ^H5704 my change ^H2487 comes ^H935.

“You will call ^H7121, and I will answer ^H6030 You;

You will long ^H3700 for the work ^H4639 of Your hands ^H3027.

“For now ^H6258 You number ^H5608 my steps ^H6806,

You do not keep ^H8104 watch ^H8104 over my sin ^H2403.

“My transgression ^H6588 is sealed ^H2856 up ^H2856 in a bag ^H6872,

And You [fn]cover ^H2950 up my iniquity ^H5771.

“But the falling ^H5307 mountain ^H2022 [fn]crumbles ^H5034 away ^H5034,

And the rock ^H6697 moves ^H6275 from its place ^H4725;

Water ^H4325 wears ^H7833 away ^H7833 stones ^H68;

Its torrents ^H5599 wash ^H7857 away ^H7857 the dust ^H6083 of the earth ^H776;

So You make man’s ^H582 hope ^H8615 perish ^H6.

“You forever ^H5331 overpower ^H8630 him and he goes ^H1980 away;

You alter ^H8132 his appearance ^H6440 and send ^H7971 him away ^H7971.

“His sons ^H1121 achieve ^H3513 honor ^H3513, but he does not know ^H3045 it;

Or they become ^H6819 insignificant ^H6819, but he does not perceive ^H995 it.

“But his flesh ^H1320 pains ^H3510 him,

And he mourns ^H56 only for himself ^H5315.”
