Job 14 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

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

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

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

And bring ^H935 [fn]him 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 You have [fn]set ^H6213 his limits ^H2706 so that he cannot ^H3808 pass ^H5674.

“Look ^H8159 away ^H8159 from him so that he may [fn]rest ^H2308,

Until ^H5704 he [fn]fulfills ^H7521 his day ^H3117 like a hired ^H7916 worker ^H7916.

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

When ^H518 it is cut ^H3772 down ^H3772, that it will sprout ^H2498 again ^H5750,

And its shoots ^H3127 will not [fn]fail ^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 produce ^H6213 sprigs ^H7105 like ^H3644 a plant ^H5194.

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

A person ^H120 passes ^H1478 away ^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 a man ^H376 lies ^H7901 down ^H7901 and does not rise ^H6965.

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

[fn]He will not awake ^H6974 nor ^H3808 be woken ^H5782 from [fn]his sleep ^H8142.

“Oh ^H4310 H5414 that ^H4310 H5414 You would hide ^H6845 me in [fn]Sheol ^H7585,

That You would conceal ^H5641 me until ^H5704 Your wrath ^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 struggle ^H6635 I will wait ^H3176

Until ^H5704 my relief ^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 observe ^H8104 my sin ^H2403.

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

And You cover ^H2950 over ^H5921 my [fn]guilt ^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 destroy ^H6 a man’s ^H582 hope ^H8615.

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

You change ^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, and he does not perceive ^H995 it.

“However ^H389, his [fn]body ^H1320 pains ^H3510 him,

And his soul ^H5315 mourns ^H56 for himself.”
