Jb 14 (King James)

¹ Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble.
² He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
³ And doth thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?
⁴ Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
⁵ Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
⁶ Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day.
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.
⁸ Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
⁹ Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
¹⁰ But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
¹¹ As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:
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.
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!
¹⁴ If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
¹⁵ Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.
¹⁶ For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?
¹⁷ My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity.
¹⁸ And surely the mountains falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of his place.
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.
²⁰ Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
²¹ His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.
²² But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.

Jb 14 (Vulgate)

¹ [Homo natus de muliere, brevi vivens tempore, repletur multis miseriis.
² Qui quasi flos egreditur et conteritur, et fugit velut umbra, et numquam in eodem statu permanet.
³ Et dignum ducis super hujuscemodi aperire oculos tuos, et adducere eum tecum in judicium ?
⁴ Quis potest facere mundum de immundo conceptum semine ? nonne tu qui solus es ?
⁵ Breves dies hominis sunt : numerus mensium ejus apud te est : constituisti terminos ejus, qui præteriri non poterunt.
⁶ Recede paululum ab eo, ut quiescat, donec optata veniat, sicut mercenarii, dies ejus.
⁷ Lignum habet spem : si præcisum fuerit, rursum virescit, et rami ejus pullulant.
⁸ Si senuerit in terra radix ejus, et in pulvere emortuus fuerit truncus illius,
⁹ ad odorem aquæ germinabit, et faciet comam, quasi cum primum plantatum est.
¹⁰ Homo vero cum mortuus fuerit, et nudatus, atque consumptus, ubi, quæso, est ?
¹¹ Quomodo si recedant aquæ de mari, et fluvius vacuefactus arescat :
¹² sic homo, cum dormierit, non resurget : donec atteratur cælum, non evigilabit, nec consurget de somno suo.
¹³ Quis mihi hoc tribuat, ut in inferno protegas me, et abscondas me donec pertranseat furor tuus, et constituas mihi tempus in quo recorderis mei ?
¹⁴ Putasne mortuus homo rursum vivat ? cunctis diebus quibus nunc milito, expecto donec veniat immutatio mea.
¹⁵ Vocabis me, et ego respondebo tibi : operi manuum tuarum porriges dexteram.
¹⁶ Tu quidem gressus meos dinumerasti : sed parce peccatis meis.
¹⁷ Signasti quasi in sacculo delicta mea, sed curasti iniquitatem meam.
¹⁸ Mons cadens defluit, et saxum transfertur de loco suo :
¹⁹ lapides excavant aquæ, et alluvione paulatim terra consumitur : et hominem ergo similiter perdes.
²⁰ Roborasti eum paululum, ut in perpetuum transiret : immutabis faciem ejus, et emittes eum.
²¹ Sive nobiles fuerint filii ejus, sive ignobiles, non intelliget.
²² Attamen caro ejus, dum vivet, dolebit, et anima illius super semetipso lugebit.]
