Job Capítulo 14

14 : 1 Man, who 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 too flees as a shadow, and does not continue.

14 : 3 And do thou open thine eyes upon such a one, and bring me into judgment with thee?

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 is with thee, and thou have appointed his bounds that he cannot pass,

14 : 6 look away from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day.

14 : 7 For there is hope of a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch of it will not cease.

14 : 8 Though the root of it grows old in the earth, and the trunk of it dies in the ground,

14 : 9 yet through the scent of water it will bud, and put forth boughs like a plant.

14 : 10 But man dies, and is laid low. Yea, man gives up the spirit, and where is he?

14 : 11 As the waters fail from the sea, and the river wastes away and dries up,

14 : 12 so man lies down and does not rise. Till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.

14 : 13 O that thou would hide me in Sheol, that thou would keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou would appoint for me a set time, and remember me!

14 : 14 If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my warfare I would wait till my release should come.

14 : 15 Thou would call, and I would answer thee. Thou would have a desire to the work of thy hands.

14 : 16 But now thou number my steps. Do thou not watch over my sin?

14 : 17 My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou fasten up my iniquity.

14 : 18 But the falling mountain comes to nothing, and the rock is removed out of its place.

14 : 19 The waters wear the stones. The overflowings of it wash away the dust of the earth. So thou destroy the hope of man.

14 : 20 Thou prevail forever against him, and he passes. Thou change his countenance, and send him away.

14 : 21 His sons come to honor, and he does not know it, and they are brought low, but he does not perceive it of them.

14 : 22 But his flesh upon him has pain, and his soul within him mourns.
