Part 12

18:013:023 How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin.

18:013:024 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?

18:013:025 Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?

18:013:026 For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.

18:013:027 Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.

18:013:028 And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten.

18:014:001 Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble.

18:014:002 He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.

18:014:003 And doth thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?

18:014:004 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.

18:014:005 Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;

18:014:006 Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day.

18:014:007 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.

18:014:008 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;

18:014:009 Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.

18:014:010 But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?

18:014:011 As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:

18:014:012 So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.

18:014:013 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!

18:014:014 If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.

18:014:015 Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.

18:014:016 For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?

18:014:017 My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity.

18:014:018 And surely the mountains falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of his place.

18:014:019 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.

18:014:020 Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.

18:014:021 His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.

18:014:022 But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.
