Job 14
|
|
| 14:1
Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble. |
|
| 14:2
He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a
shadow, and continueth not. |
|
| 14:3
And doth thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into
judgment with thee? |
|
| 14:4
Who can bring a clean
thing out of an unclean? not one. |
Speaking of births, Job says: "Who can
bring a clean thing out of an unclean. Not one." So according to the Bible,
women are dirty (sinful), giving birth is dirty (sinful), and the newborn baby
is dirty (sinful).
|
| 14:5
Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee,
thou hast 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 dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where
is he? |
" But man dieth, and wasteth away."
Is death final?
|
| 14:11
As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up: |
|
| 14:12 So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall
not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep. |
|
| 14:13
O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me
secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou 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
Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the
work of thine hands. |
|
| 14:16
For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin? |
|
| 14:17
My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity. |
|
| 14:18
And surely the mountains falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed
out of his place. |
|
| 14:19
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. |
|
| 14:20
Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his
countenance, and sendest him away. |
|
| 14:21
His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low,
but he perceiveth it not of them. |
|
| 14:22
But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall
mourn.
