18:013:020 Only do not two things unto me: then
will I not hide myself
from
thee.
18:013:021 Withdraw thine hand far from me: and
let not thy dread make me
afraid.
18:013:022 Then call thou, and I will answer:
or let me speak, and answer
thou
me.
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.
