   1) Job 14, Job 15, Job 16, Job 17, Job 18, Job 19   
      
   Job 14   
   1 (Job 5:7; Ecc 2:23) "Man who is born of a woman   
   is of few days and full of trouble.   
   2 (Job 8:9; 1Pe 1:24) He comes forth like a flower and withers;   
   he flees like a shadow and does not continue.   
   3 (Ps 143:2; 144:3) Do You open Your eyes on such a one,   
   and bring me into judgment with You?   
   4 (Jn 3:6; Job 15:14) Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?   
   There is no one.   
   5 (Job 21:21; 7:1) Seeing his days are determined,   
   the number of his months are with You;   
   You have appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;   
   6 (Job 7:19; Ps 39:13) turn from him, that he may rest,   
   until he, as a hired man, finishes his day.   
   7 "For there is hope for a tree,   
   if it is cut down, that it will sprout again,   
   and that its tender shoots will not cease.   
   8 Though its root may grow old in the earth,   
   and its stump may die in the ground,   
   9 yet at the scent of water it will bud   
   and bring forth boughs like a plant.   
   10 (Job 14:12) But man dies and wastes away;   
   yes, man gives up his breath, and where is he?   
   11 (Isa 19:5 ) As the waters disappear from the sea,   
   and the flood shrivels and dries up,   
   12 (Job 3:13; Ac 3:21) so man lies down and does not rise;   
   until the heavens are no more, he will not awake,   
   nor be raised out of his sleep.   
   13 "Oh, that You would hide me in the grave,   
   that You would conceal me until Your wrath is past,   
   that You would appoint me a set time   
   and remember me!   
   14 (Job 7:1; 13:15) If a man dies, will he live again?   
   All the days of my service I will wait,   
   until my relief comes.   
   15 (Job 10:3; 13:22) You will call, and I will answer You;   
   You will long for the work of Your hands.   
   16 (Job 10:6; 31:4) For now You number my steps;   
   do You not observe my sin?   
   17 (Dt 32:34; Hos 13:12) My transgression is sealed up in a bag,   
   and You plaster over my iniquity.   
   18 (Job 18:4) "Surely the mountain falling comes to nothing,   
   and the rock is removed out of its place.   
   19 The waters wear away the stones;   
   its overflow washes away the dust of the earth;   
   and You destroy the hope of man.   
   20 You prevail forever against him, and he passes on;   
   changing his countenance, You send him away.   
   21 (Ecc 9:5; Isa 63:16) His sons come to honor, and he does not know it;   
   and they are brought low, but he does not perceive it.   
   22 But his flesh on him will have pain,   
   and his soul within him will mourn."   
      
   [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 thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest 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 are with thee,   
   thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;   
   [6] Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an   
   hireling, his day.   
   [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.   
   [8] Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof 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: yea, man giveth up the ghost, 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 be no more, they   
   shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.   
   [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] If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time   
   will I wait, till my change come.   
   [15] Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the   
   work of thine 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 mine   
   iniquity.   
   [18] And surely the mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is   
   removed out of his 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 honour, 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.   
      
   (Short are our days, but our hope lies in the Salvastion of Jesus Christ)   
      
   Job 15   
   Eliphaz Speaks: Job Does Not Fear God   
   1 (Job 2:11) Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered:   
   2 (Job 6:26; 8:2) "Should a wise man reply with empty knowledge   
   and fill his lungs with the east wind?   
   3 Should he reason with unprofitable talk   
   or with speeches with which he can do no good?   
   4 Yes, you cast off reverence   
   and hinder prayer before God.   
   5 For your mouth utters your iniquity,   
   and you choose the tongue of the crafty.   
   6 (Lk 19:22; Job 9:20) Your own mouth condemns you, and not;   
   yes, your own lips testify against you.   
   7 (Ps 90:2) "Are you the first man who was born?   
   Or were you made before the hills?   
   8 (Ro 11:34; Jer 23:18) Have you heard the counsel of God?   
   And do you restrict wisdom to yourself?   
   9 (Job 13:2) What do you know that we do not know?   
   What do you understand that is not in us?   
   10 (Job 32:6-7) Both the gray-haired and very aged are among us -   
   much older than your father.   
   11 Are the consolations of God too small for you?   
   Or the word spoken gently to you?   
   12 Why does your heart carry you away?   
   And what do your eyes wink at,   
   13 that you turn your spirit against God,   
   and let such words go out of your mouth?   
   14 (Job 14:4; Pr 20:9) "What is man that he should be pure?   
   And he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?   
   15 (Job 4:18; 25:5) Behold, He puts no trust in His holy ones,   
   and the heavens are not pure in His sight.   
   16 (Job 34:7; Pr 19:28) How much more abhorred and corrupt is man,   
   who drinks iniquity like water!   
   17 "I will tell you; hear me,   
   and what I have seen I will declare,   
   18 (Job 8:8) what wise men have told,   
   not hiding anything received from their fathers,   
   19 (Joel 3:17) to whom alone the land was given,   
   and no foreigner passed among them:   
   20 (Job 24:1; 27:13) The wicked man travails with pain all his days,   
   and numbered are the years stored up for the oppressor.   
   21 (Job 18:11; 1Th 5:3) A dreadful sound is in his ears;   
   in prosperity the destroyer will come upon him.   
   22 He does not believe that he will return from darkness,   
   and a sword awaits him.   
   23 (Ps 59:15; 109:10) He wanders about for bread, saying, 'Where is it?'
