Job 14:14–22

14  wIf a man die, shall he live again?

All the days of my xappointed time ywill I wait,

Till my zchange come.

15  aThou shalt call, and I will answer thee:

Thou wilt have a desire to bthe work of thine hands.

16  For now thou cnumberest my steps:

Dost thou not dwatch over my sin?

17  My transgression is esealed up in a bag,

And thou fsewest up mine iniquity.

18  And surely the mountain falling †cometh to nought,

And gthe rock is removed out of his place.

19  The waters hwear the stones:

Thou †washest away ithe things which grow out of the dust of the earth;

And thou destroyest the hope of man.

20  Thou kprevailest lfor ever against him, and mhe passeth:

Thou changest his countenance, and nsendest him away.

21  His sons ocome to honour, and phe knoweth it not;

And they oare 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.
