Job Speaks of the Finality of Death

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 out and withers.

He also flees like a shadow and does not remain.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:3 -

“You also open Your eyes on him

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

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:6 -

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

Until he [fn]fulfills his day like a hired worker.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:7 -

“For there is hope for a tree,

When it is cut down, that it will sprout again,

And its shoots will not [fn]fail.

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 produce sprigs like a plant.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:10 -

“But a man dies and lies prostrate.

A person passes away, 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 a man lies down and does not rise.

Until the heavens no longer exist,

[fn]He will not awake nor be woken from [fn]his sleep.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:13 -

“Oh that You would hide me in [fn]Sheol,

That You would conceal me until Your wrath 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 struggle I will wait

Until my relief 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 observe my sin.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:17 -

“My wrongdoing is sealed up in a bag,

And You cover over my [fn]guilt.

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 destroy a man’s hope.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:20 -

“You forever overpower him and he departs;

You change 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, and he does not perceive it.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:22 -

“However, his [fn]body pains him,

And his soul mourns for himself.”
