The King James Version Bible

Job 14:10-20

  1. But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?

  2. As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:

  3. So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.

  4. 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!

  5. If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.

  6. Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.

  7. For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?

  8. My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity.

  9. And surely the mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of his place.

  10. 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.

  11. Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
