013:025 Will you harass a driven leaf? Will you pursue the dry stubble? 013:026 For you write bitter things against me, and make me inherit the iniquities of my youth: 013:027 You also put my feet in the stocks, and mark all my paths. You set a bound to the soles of my feet, 013:028 though I am decaying like a rotten thing, like a garment that is moth-eaten. 014:001 "Man, who is born of a woman, is of few days, and full of trouble. 014:002 He comes forth like a flower, and is cut down. He also flees like a shadow, and doesn't continue. 014:003 Do you open your eyes on such a one, and bring me into judgment with you? 014:004 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one. 014:005 Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months is with you, and you have appointed his bounds that he can't pass; 014:006 Look away from him, that he may rest, until he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day. 014:007 "For there is hope for a tree, If it is cut down, that it will sprout again, that the tender branch of it will not cease. 014:008 Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stock dies in the ground, 014:009 yet through the scent of water it will bud, and put forth boughs like a plant. 014:010 But man dies, and is laid low. Yes, man gives up the spirit, and where is he? 014:011 As the waters fail from the sea, and the river wastes and dries up, 014:012 so man lies down and doesn't rise. Until the heavens are no more, they shall not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep. 014:013 "Oh that you would hide me in Sheol, that you would keep me secret, until your wrath is past, that you would appoint me a set time, and remember me! 014:014 If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my warfare would I wait, until my release should come. 014:015 You would call, and I would answer you. You would have a desire to the work of your hands. 014:016 But now you number my steps. Don't you watch over my sin? 014:017 My disobedience is sealed up in a bag. You fasten up my iniquity. 014:018 "But the mountain falling comes to nothing. The rock is removed out of its place; 014:019 The waters wear the stones. The torrents of it wash away the dust of the earth. So you destroy the hope of man. 014:020 You forever prevail against him, and he departs. You change his face, and send him away. 014:021 His sons come to honor, and he doesn't know it. They are brought low, but he doesn't perceive it of them. 014:022 But his flesh on him has pain, and his soul within him mourns." 015:001 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered, 015:002 "Should a wise man answer with vain knowledge, and fill himself with the east wind? 015:003 Should he reason with unprofitable talk, or with speeches with which he can do no good? 015:004 Yes, you do away with fear, and hinder devotion before God.
