He grows up like a flower, and is cut down. Isa 40:6-81Pe 1:24Job 8:9Psa 103:15-161Ch 29:15Jas 4:14Jas 1:10-11Psa 144:4
He also flees like a shadow, and doesn’t continue.
Do you open your eyes on such a one, Psa 144:3Psa 143:2Psa 8:4Job 13:25Job 13:27Job 7:17-18Job 9:19-20Job 9:32
and bring me into judgment with you?
Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Jhn 3:6Job 15:14Eph 2:3Rom 8:8-9Job 25:4-6Luk 1:35Psa 51:5Rom 5:12
Not one.
Seeing his days are determined, Psa 39:4Act 17:26Job 12:10Heb 9:27Psa 104:29Dan 5:26Job 21:21Luk 12:20
the number of his months is with you,
and you have appointed his bounds that he can’t pass.
Look away from him, that he may rest, Job 7:19Psa 39:13Job 7:1-2Job 10:20Job 7:16Mat 20:1-8
until he accomplishes, as a hireling, his day.
“For there is hope for a tree if it is cut down, Isa 27:6Isa 11:1Job 14:14Dan 4:23-25Job 19:10Dan 4:15
that it will sprout again,
that the tender branch of it will not cease.
Though its root grows old in the earth, 1Co 15:36Isa 26:19Jhn 12:24
and its stock dies in the ground,
yet through the scent of water it will bud, Rom 11:17-24Ezk 17:22-24Ezk 17:3-10Ezk 19:10
and sprout boughs like a plant.
But man dies, and is laid low. Job 19:26Gen 49:33Job 7:7-10Pro 14:32Act 5:10Job 11:20Job 14:12Job 17:13-16
Yes, man gives up the spirit, and where is he?
As the waters fail from the sea, Isa 19:5Jer 15:18Job 6:15-18
and the river wastes and dries up,
so man lies down and doesn’t rise. Job 10:21-22Ecc 3:19-21Isa 26:19Job 3:132Pe 3:10-132Pe 3:7Job 30:231Th 4:14-15
Until the heavens are no more, they will not awake,
nor be roused out of their sleep.
“Oh that you would hide me in Sheol, 1 Isa 26:20-21Isa 57:1-2Mrk 13:32Act 1:7Act 17:31Gen 8:1Isa 12:1Job 3:17-19
that you would keep me secret until your wrath is past,
that you would appoint me a set time and remember me!
If a man dies, will he live again? 1Co 15:51-52Act 26:8Job 7:1Psa 27:14Jhn 5:28-29Job 13:15Job 14:5Php 3:21
I would wait all the days of my warfare,
until my release should come.
You would call, and I would answer you. Job 13:22Psa 138:81Pe 4:19Job 10:3Job 10:8Job 7:211Jn 2:281Th 4:17
You would have a desire for the work of your hands.
But now you count my steps. Job 10:6Job 31:4Job 34:21Pro 5:21Psa 139:1-4Jer 32:19Job 33:11Job 13:27
Don’t you watch over my sin?
My disobedience is sealed up in a bag. Deu 32:34Hos 13:12Job 21:19
You fasten up my iniquity.
“But the mountain falling comes to nothing. Rev 6:14Job 18:4Jer 4:24Isa 40:12Isa 41:15-16Isa 54:10Isa 64:1Mat 27:51
The rock is removed out of its place.
The waters wear the stones. Job 19:10Job 27:8Job 7:6Ezk 37:11Gen 6:17Gen 7:21-23Luk 12:19-20Psa 30:6-7
The torrents of it wash away the dust of the earth.
So you destroy the hope of man.
You forever prevail against him, and he departs. Ecc 8:8Job 14:14Job 2:12Lam 4:8
You change his face, and send him away.
His sons come to honor, and he doesn’t know it. Ecc 9:5Ecc 2:18-19Isa 63:161Sa 4:20Isa 39:7-8Psa 39:6
They are brought low, but he doesn’t perceive it of them.
But his flesh on him has pain, Job 19:26Job 19:20Job 19:22Job 33:19-21Luk 16:23-24Pro 14:32
and his soul within him mourns.”
