욥기 14장 NASB
- 1 "Man who is born of woman Is short-lived and full of turmoil.
- 2 "Like a flower he comes forth and withers. He also flees like a shadow and does not remain.
- 3 "You also open Your eyes on him And bring him into judgment with Yourself.
- 4 "Who can make the clean out of the unclean? No one!
- 5 "Since his days are determined The number of his months is with You; And his limits You have set so that he cannot pass.
- 6 "Turn Your gaze from him that he may rest Until he fulfills his day like a hired man.
- 7 "For there is hope for a tree When it is cut down that it will sprout again And its shoots will not fail.
- 8 "Though its roots grow old in the ground And its stump dies in the dry soil
- 9 At the scent of water it will flourish And put forth sprigs like a plant.
- 10 "But man dies and lies prostrate. Man expires and where is he?
- 11 "As water evaporates from the sea And a river becomes parched and dried up
- 12 So man lies down and does not rise. Until the heavens are no longer He will not awake nor be aroused out of his sleep.
- 13 "Oh that You would hide me in Sheol That You would conceal me until Your wrath returns to You That You would set a limit for me and remember me!
- 14 "If a man dies will he live again? All the days of my struggle I will wait Until my change comes.
- 15 "You will call and I will answer You; You will long for the work of Your hands.
- 16 "For now You number my steps You do not observe my sin.
- 17 "My transgression is sealed up in a bag And You wrap up my iniquity.
- 18 "But the falling mountain crumbles away And the rock moves from its place;
- 19 Water wears away stones Its torrents wash away the dust of the earth; So You destroy man's hope.
- 20 "You forever overpower him and he departs; You change his appearance and send him away.
- 21 "His sons achieve honor but he does not know it; Or they become insignificant but he does not perceive it.
- 22 "But his body pains him And he mourns only for himself."
