14:1 Man [that is] born of a woman [is] of few days, and full of trouble.
14:2 He comes forth like a flower, and is cut down: he flees also as a shadow, and continues not.
14:3 And do you open your eyes upon such an one, and brings me into judgment with you?
14:4 Who can bring a clean [thing] out of an unclean? not one.
14:5 Seeing his days [are] determined, the number of his months [are] with you, you have appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
14:6 Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day.
14:7 For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
14:8 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
14:9 [Yet] through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
14:10 But man dies, and wasts away: yea, man givs up the ghost, and where [is] he?
14:11 [As] the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decays and dris up:
14:12 So man lies down, and rises not: till the heavens [be] no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
14:13 O that you woulden hide me in the grave, that you wouldem keep me secret, until your wrath be past, that you wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!
14:14 If a man die, shall he live [again]? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
14:15 You shall call, and I will answer thee: you will have a desire to the work of your hands.
14:16 For now you numberest my steps: do you not watch over my sin?
14:17 My transgression [is] sealed up in a bag, and you sewest up mine iniquity.
14:18 And surely the mountain falling comes to nought, and the rock is removed out of his place.
14:19 The waters wear the stones: you washes away the things which grow [out] of the dust of the earth; and you destroyest the hope of man.
14:20 You prevails for ever against him, and he passs: you changes his countenance, and sends him away.
14:21 His sons come to honour, and he knows [it] not; and they are brought low, but he perceives [it] not of them.
14:22 But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.
