Job Speaks of the Finality of Death | ||||
 NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 1 "Man, who is born of woman, Is short-lived and full of turmoil. | 1 Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble. | 1 Man, that is born of a woman, Is of few days, and full of trouble. | 1 Man born of a woman, living for a short time, is filled with many miseries. | 1 Man, born of woman! Of few days, and full of trouble! | 2 "Like a flower he comes forth and withers. He also flees like a shadow and does not remain. | 2 He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not. | 2 He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: He fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not. | 2 Who cometh forth like a flower, and is destroyed, and fleeth as a shadow, and never continueth in the same state. | 2 As a flower he hath gone forth, and is cut off, And he fleeth as a shadow and standeth not. | 3 "You also open Your eyes on him And bring him into judgment with Yourself. | 3 And doth thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee? | 3 And dost thou open thine eyes upon such a one, And bringest me into judgment with thee? | 3 And dost thou think it meet to open thy eyes upon such an one, and to bring him into judgment with thee? | 3 Also -- on this Thou hast opened Thine eyes, And dost bring me into judgment with Thee. | 4 "Who can make the clean out of the unclean? No one! | 4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one. | 4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one. | 4 Who can make him clean that is conceived of unclean seed ? is it not thou who only art? | 4 Who giveth a clean thing out of an unclean? not one. | 5 "Since his days are determined, The number of his months is with You; And his limits You have set so that he cannot pass. | 5 Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass; | 5 Seeing his days are determined, The number of his months is with thee, And thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass; | 5 The days of man are short, and the number of his months is with thee: thou hast appointed his bounds which cannot be passed. | 5 If determined are his days, The number of his months are with Thee, His limit Thou hast made, And he passeth not over; | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 "Turn Your gaze from him that he may rest, Until he fulfills his day like a hired man. | 6 Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day. | 6 Look away from him, that he may rest, Till he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day. | 6 Depart a little from him, that he may rest, until his wished for day come, as that of the hireling. | 6 Look away from off him that he may cease, Till he enjoy as an hireling his day. | 7 "For there is hope for a tree, When it is cut down, that it will sprout again, And its shoots will not fail. | 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. | 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. | 7 A tree hath hope: if it be cut, it groweth green again, and the boughs thereof sprout. | 7 For there is of a tree hope, if it be cut down, That again it doth change, That its tender branch doth not cease. | 8 "Though its roots grow old in the ground And its stump dies in the dry soil, | 8 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground; | 8 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, And the stock thereof die in the ground; | 8 If its root be old in the earth, and its stock be dead in the dust: | 8 If its root becometh old in the earth, And its stem doth die in the dust, | 9 At the scent of water it will flourish And put forth sprigs like a plant. | 9 Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant. | 9 Yet through the scent of water it will bud, And put forth boughs like a plant. | 9 At the scent of water, it shall spring, and bring forth leaves, as when it was first planted. | 9 From the fragrance of water it doth flourish, And hath made a crop as a plant. | 10 "But man dies and lies prostrate. Man expires, and where is he? | 10 But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he? | 10 But man dieth, and is laid low: Yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he? | 10 But man when he shall be dead, and stripped and consumed, I pray you where is he? | 10 And a man dieth, and becometh weak, And man expireth, and where is he? | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 11 "As water evaporates from the sea, And a river becomes parched and dried up, | 11 As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up: | 11 As the waters fail from the sea, And the river wasteth and drieth up; | 11 As if the waters should depart out of the sea, and an emptied river should be dried up: | 11 Waters have gone away from a sea, And a river becometh waste and dry. | 12 So man lies down and does not rise. Until the heavens are no longer, He will not awake nor be aroused out of his sleep. | 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. | 12 So man lieth down and riseth not: Till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, Nor be roused out of their sleep. | 12 So man when he is fallen asleep shall not rise again; till the heavens be broken, he shall not awake, nor rise up out of his sleep. | 12 And man hath lain down, and riseth not, Till the wearing out of the heavens they awake not, Nor are roused from their sleep. | 13 "Oh that You would hide me in Sheol, That You would conceal me until Your wrath returns to You, That You would set a limit for me and remember me! | 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! | 13 Oh that thou wouldest hide me in Sheol, That thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, That thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! | 13 Who will grant me this, that thou mayest protect me in hell, and hide me till thy wrath pass, and appoint me a. time when thou wilt remember me? | 13 O that in Sheol Thou wouldest conceal me, Hide me till the turning of Thine anger, Set for me a limit, and remember me. | 14 "If a man dies, will he live again? All the days of my struggle I will wait Until my change comes. | 14 If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. | 14 If a man die, shall he live again ? All the days of my warfare would I wait, Till my release should come. | 14 Shall man that is dead, thinkest thou, live again? all the days in which I am now in warfare, I expect until my change come. | 14 If a man dieth -- doth he revive? All days of my warfare I wait, till my change come. | 15 "You will call, and I will answer You; You will long for the work of Your hands. | 15 Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands. | 15 Thou wouldest call, and I would answer thee: Thou wouldest have a desire to the work of thy hands. | 15 Thou shalt call me, and I will answer thee: to the work of thy hands thou shalt reach out thy right hand. | 15 Thou dost call, and I -- I answer Thee; To the work of Thy hands Thou hast desire. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 16 "For now You number my steps, You do not observe my sin. | 16 For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin? | 16 But now thou numberest my steps: Dost thou not watch over my sin? | 16 Thou indeed hast numbered my steps, but spare my sins. | 16 But now, my steps Thou numberest, Thou dost not watch over my sin. | 17 "My transgression is sealed up in a bag, And You wrap up my iniquity. | 17 My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity. | 17 My transgression is sealed up in a bag, And thou fastenest up mine iniquity. | 17 Thou hast sealed up my offences as it were in a bag, but hast cured my iniquity. | 17 Sealed up in a bag is my transgression, And Thou sewest up mine iniquity. | 18 "But the falling mountain crumbles away, And the rock moves from its place; | 18 And surely the mountains falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of his place. | 18 But the mountain falling cometh to nought; And the rock is removed out of its place; | 18 A mountain falling cometh to nought, and a rock is removed out of its place. | 18 And yet, a falling mountain wasteth away, And a rock is removed from its place. | 19 Water wears away stones, Its torrents wash away the dust of the earth; So You destroy man's hope. | 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. | 19 The waters wear the stones; The overflowings thereof wash away the dust of the earth: So thou destroyest the hope of man. | 19 Waters wear away the stones, and with inundation the ground by little and little is washed away: so in like manner thou shalt destroy man. | 19 Stones have waters worn away, Their outpourings wash away the dust of earth, And the hope of man Thou hast destroyed. | 20 "You forever overpower him and he departs; You change his appearance and send him away. | 20 Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away. | 20 Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth; Thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away. | 20 Thou hast strengthened him for a little while, that he may pass away for ever: thou shalt change his face, and shalt send him away. | 20 Thou prevailest over him for ever, and he goeth, He is changing his countenance, And Thou sendest him away. | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 21 "His sons achieve honor, but he does not know it; Or they become insignificant, but he does not perceive it. | 21 His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them. | 21 His sons come to honor, and he knoweth it not; And they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them. | 21 Whether his children come to honour or dishonour, he shall not understand. | 21 Honoured are his sons, and he knoweth not; And they are little, and he attendeth not to them. | 22 "But his body pains him, And he mourns only for himself." | 22 But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn. | 22 But his flesh upon him hath pain, And his soul within him mourneth. | 22 But yet his flesh, while he shall live, shall have pain, and his soul shall mourn over him. | 22 Only -- his flesh for him is pained, And his soul for him doth mourn.' |
