1Job entreateth God's forbearance in respect of the shortness and troubles of life, 5and of the certainty of death, which cutteth short man's hope: 13he wisheth for some place of shelter, where to wait his appointed change. 18All created beings are subject to corruption.
1 Man that is 1born of a woman is 2aof few days, and full of trouble.
2 1He cometh forth like a flower, and 2is cut down: he 3fleeth also as 4a shadow, and continueth not.
3 And dost thou 1open thine eyes upon such an one, and 2bringest me into judgment with thee?
4 aWho 1can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
5 Seeing 1his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast 2appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
6 1Turn from him, that he may arest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day.
7 For there is 1hope 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 awasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and 1where is he?
11 as the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:
12 So man 1lieth down, and riseth not: 2till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their 3sleep.
13 O that thou wouldest 1hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest 2appoint me a set time, and remember me!
14 1If a man die, 2shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my 3change come.
15 Thou shalt 1call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to 2the work of thine hands.
16 For now 1thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?
17 My transgression is 1sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity.
18 And surely the mountain falling acometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of his place.
19 The waters wear the stones: thou awashest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the 1hope of man.
20 Thou 1prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou 2changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
21 His sons come to honour, and he 1knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.
22 But his 1flesh upon him shall have pain, and 2his soul within him shall mourn.
Europe probably wants us to say lots of stuff here. But basically, if you give us your email, we’ll have it. We promise not to give it to other people or to robots, especially robots. And we promise to get rid of it if you ask us to.
