Job - douay rheims

Chapter 14

¹ Man born of a woman, living for a short time, is filled with many miseries.
² Who cometh forth like a flower, and is destroyed, and fleeth as a shadow, and never continueth in the same state.
³ And dost thou think it meet to open thy eyes upon such an one, and to bring him into judgment with thee?
⁴ Who can make him clean that is conceived of unclean seed ? is it not thou who only art?
⁵ The days of man are short, and the number of his months is with thee: thou hast appointed his bounds which cannot be passed.
⁶ Depart a little from him, that he may rest, until his wished for day come, as that of the hireling.
⁷ A tree hath hope: if it be cut, it groweth green again, and the boughs thereof sprout.
⁸ If its root be old in the earth, and its stock be dead in the dust:
⁹ At the scent of water, it shall spring, and bring forth leaves, as when it was first planted.
¹⁰ But man when he shall be dead, and stripped and consumed, I pray you where is he?
¹¹ As if the waters should depart out of the sea, and an emptied river should be dried up:
¹² So man when he is fallen asleep shall not rise again; till the heavens be broken, he shall not awake, nor rise up out of his sleep.
¹³ Who will grant me this, that thou mayest protect me in hell, and hide me till thy wrath pass, and appoint me a. time when thou wilt remember me?
¹⁴ Shall man that is dead, thinkest thou, live again? all the days in which I am now in warfare, I expect until my change come.
¹⁵ Thou shalt call me, and I will answer thee: to the work of thy hands thou shalt reach out thy right hand.
¹⁶ Thou indeed hast numbered my steps, but spare my sins.
¹⁷ Thou hast sealed up my offences as it were in a bag, but hast cured my iniquity.
¹⁸ A mountain falling cometh to nought, and a rock is removed out of its place.
¹⁹ Waters wear away the stones, and with inundation the ground by little and little is washed away: so in like manner thou shalt destroy man.
²⁰ Thou hast strengthened him for a little while, that he may pass away for ever: thou shalt change his face, and shalt send him away.
²¹ Whether his children come to honour or dishonour, he shall not understand.
²² But yet his flesh, while he shall live, shall have pain, and his soul shall mourn over him.

Chapter 14

¹ Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.
² He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
³ And dost thou open thy eyes upon such one, and bring me into judgment with thee?
⁴ Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
⁵ Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months is with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
⁶ Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day.
⁷ For there is hope of a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and that its tender branch will not cease.
⁸ Though its root shall become old in the earth, and its stock die in the ground;
⁹ Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
¹⁰ But man dieth, and wasteth away: yes, man yieldeth his breath, and where is he?
¹¹ As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:
¹² So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens shall be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
¹³ O that thou wouldst hide me in the grave, that thou wouldst keep me secret, until thy wrath is past, that thou wouldst appoint me a set time, and remember me!
¹⁴ If a man dieth, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change shall come.
¹⁵ Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thy hands.
¹⁶ For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?
¹⁷ My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up my iniquity.
¹⁸ And surely the mountain falling cometh to naught, and the rock is removed out of its place.
¹⁹ The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.
²⁰ Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
²¹ His sons come to honor, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.
²² But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.

Chapter 14

¹ who is born of a woman, is of few days, and full of trouble.
² comes forth like a flower, and is cut down. He also flees like a shadow, and doesn't continue.
³ you open your eyes on such a one, and bring me into judgment with you?
⁴ can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one.
⁵ his days are determined, the number of his months is with you, and you have appointed his bounds that he can't pass;
⁶ away from him, that he may rest, until he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day.
⁷ there is hope for a tree, If it is cut down, that it will sprout again, that the tender branch of it will not cease.
⁸ its root grows old in the earth, and its stock dies in the ground,
⁹ through the scent of water it will bud, and put forth boughs like a plant.
¹⁰ man dies, and is laid low. Yes, man gives up the spirit, and where is he?
¹¹ the waters fail from the sea, and the river wastes and dries up,
¹² man lies down and doesn't rise. Until the heavens are no more, they shall not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.
¹³ that you would hide me in Sheol, that you would keep me secret, until your wrath is past, that you would appoint me a set time, and remember me!
¹⁴ a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my warfare would I wait, until my release should come.
¹⁵ would call, and I would answer you. You would have a desire to the work of your hands.
¹⁶ now you number my steps. Don't you watch over my sin?
¹⁷ disobedience is sealed up in a bag. You fasten up my iniquity.
¹⁸ the mountain falling comes to nothing. The rock is removed out of its place;
¹⁹ waters wear the stones. The torrents of it wash away the dust of the earth. So you destroy the hope of man.
²⁰ forever prevail against him, and he departs. You change his face, and send him away.
²¹ sons come to honor, and he doesn't know it. They are brought low, but he doesn't perceive it of them.
²² his flesh on him has pain, and his soul within him mourns."

¹ Man, born of woman, is of few days, and full of trouble.
² He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down; and he fleeth as a shadow, and continueth not.
³ Yet dost thou open thine eyes upon such a one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?
⁴ Who can bring a clean [man] out of the unclean? Not one!
⁵ 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,
⁶ Look away from him; and let him rest, till he accomplish, as a hireling, his day.
⁷ For there is hope for a tree: if it be cut down, it will sprout again, and its tender branch will not cease;
⁸ Though its root grow old in the earth, and its stock die in the ground,
⁹ Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and put forth boughs like a young plant.
¹⁰ But a man dieth, and is prostrate; yea, man expireth, and where is he?
¹¹ The waters recede from the lake, and the river wasteth and drieth up:
¹² 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.
¹³ 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, --
¹⁴ (If a man die, shall he live [again]?) all the days of my time of toil would I wait, till my change should come:
¹⁵ Thou wouldest call, and I would answer thee; thou wouldest have a desire after the work of thy hands.
¹⁶ For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?
¹⁷ My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou heapest up mine iniquity.
¹⁸ And indeed a mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of its place;
¹⁹ The waters wear the stones, the floods thereof wash away the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.
²⁰ Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth away; thou changest his countenance, and dismissest him.
²¹ His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, and he perceiveth it not.
²² But his flesh hath pain for himself alone, and his soul mourneth for himself.

Chapter 14

¹ As for man, the son of woman, his days are short and full of trouble.
² He comes out like a flower, and is cut down: he goes in flight like a shade, and is never seen again.
³ Is it on such a one as this that your eyes are fixed, with the purpose of judging him?
⁴ If only a clean thing might come out of an unclean! But it is not possible.
⁵ If his days are ordered, and you have knowledge of the number of his months, having given him a fixed limit past which he may not go;
⁶ Let your eyes be turned away from him, and take your hand from him, so that he may have pleasure at the end of his day, like a servant working for payment.
⁷ For there is hope of a tree; if it is cut down, it will come to life again, and its branches will not come to an end.
⁸ Though its root may be old in the earth, and its cut-off end may be dead in the dust;
⁹ Still, at the smell of water, it will make buds, and put out branches like a young plant.
¹⁰ But man comes to his death and is gone: he gives up his spirit, and where is he?
¹¹ The waters go from a pool, and a river becomes waste and dry;
¹² So man goes down to his last resting-place and comes not again: till the heavens come to an end, they will not be awake or come out of their sleep.
¹³ If only you would keep me safe in the underworld, putting me in a secret place till your wrath is past, giving me a fixed time when I might come to your memory again!
¹⁴ If death takes a man, will he come to life again? All the days of my trouble I would be waiting, till the time came for me to be free.
¹⁵ At the sound of your voice I would give an answer, and you would have a desire for the work of your hands.
¹⁶ For now my steps are numbered by you, and my sin is not overlooked.
¹⁷ My wrongdoing is corded up in a bag, and my sin is shut up safe.
¹⁸ But truly a mountain falling comes to dust, and a rock is moved from its place;
¹⁹ The stones are crushed small by the force of the waters; the dust of the earth is washed away by their overflowing: and so you put an end to the hope of man.
²⁰ You overcome him for ever, and he is gone; his face is changed in death, and you send him away.
²¹ His sons come to honour, and he has no knowledge of it; they are made low, but he is not conscious of it.
²² Only his flesh still has pain, and his soul is sad.
