Job 14:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 14:1

1 “Man who is born of woman
Is of few days and ^afull of trouble.

2 ^aHe comes forth like a flower and fades away;
He flees like a shadow and does not continue.

3 And ^ado You open Your eyes on such a one,
And ^bbring me to judgment with Yourself?

4 Who ^acan bring a clean thing out of an unclean?
No one!

5 ^aSince his days are determined,
The number of his months is with You;
You have appointed his limits, so that he cannot pass.

6 ^aLook away from him that he may¹ rest,
Till ^blike a hired man he 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 branches like a plant.

10 But man dies and¹ is laid away;
Indeed he¹ breathes his last
And where is ^ahe?

11 As water disappears from the sea,
And a river becomes parched and dries up,

12 So man lies down and does not rise.
^aTill the heavens are no more,
They will not awake
Nor be roused from their 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 If a man dies, shall he live again?
All the days of my hard service ^aI will wait,
Till my change comes.
