| # Chapter 14
| Man, born of woman, is of few days, and full of trouble.
| He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down; and he fleeth as a shadow, and continueth not.
| Yet dost thou open thine eyes upon such a one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?
| Who can bring a clean [man] out of the unclean? Not one!
| If his days are determined, if the number of his months is with thee, [and] thou hast appointed his bounds which he must not pass,
| Look away from him; and let him rest, till he accomplish, as a hireling, his day.
| For there is hope for a tree: if it be cut down, it will sprout again, and its tender branch will not cease;
| Though its root grow old in the earth, and its stock die in the ground,
| Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and put forth boughs like a young plant.
| But a man dieth, and is prostrate; yea, man expireth, and where is he?
| The waters recede from the lake, and the river wasteth and drieth up:
| So man lieth down, and riseth not again; till the heavens be no more, they do not awake, nor are raised out of their sleep.
| Oh that thou wouldest hide me in Sheol, that thou wouldest keep me secret until thine anger be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me, --
| (If a man die, shall he live [again]?) all the days of my time of toil would I wait, till my change should come:
| Thou wouldest call, and I would answer thee; thou wouldest have a desire after the work of thy hands.
| For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?
| My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou heapest up mine iniquity.
| And indeed a mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of its place;
| The waters wear the stones, the floods thereof wash away the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.
| Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth away; thou changest his countenance, and dismissest him.
| His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, and he perceiveth it not.
| But his flesh hath pain for himself alone, and his soul mourneth for himself.
