Bible. Job
18:013:016 He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come
before him.
18:013:017 Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
18:013:018 Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be
justified.
18:013:019 Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my
tongue, I shall give up the ghost.
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!
