New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Job 14
1 "Man, who is born of woman, Is short-lived and full of turmoil.
2 "Like a flower he comes forth and withers. He also flees like a shadow and does not remain.
3 "You also open Your eyes on him And bring him into judgment with Yourself.
4 "Who can make the clean out of the unclean? No one!
5 "Since his days are determined, The number of his months is with You; And his limits You have set so that he cannot pass.
6 "Turn Your gaze from him that he may rest, Until he fulfills his day like a hired man.
7 "For there is hope for a tree, When it is cut down, that it will sprout again, And its shoots will not fail.
8 "Though its roots grow old in the ground And its stump dies in the dry soil,
9 At the scent of water it will flourish And put forth sprigs like a plant.
10 "But man dies and lies prostrate. Man expires, and where is he?
11 "As water evaporates from the sea, And a river becomes parched and dried up,
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
