All the days of my service would I wait, till my relief should come —14:15תִּקְרָא וְאָנֹכִי אֶֽעֱנֶךָּ לְֽמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֶיךָ תִכְסֹֽף׃Thou wouldest call, and I would answer Thee; Thou wouldest have a desire to the work of Thy hands.14:16כִּֽי־עַתָּה צְעָדַי תִּסְפּוֹר לֹֽא־תִשְׁמוֹר עַל־חַטָּאתִֽי׃But now Thou numberest my steps, Thou dost not even wait for my sin;14:17חָתֻם בִּצְרוֹר פִּשְׁעִי וַתִּטְפֹּל עַל־עֲוֺנִֽי׃My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and Thou heapest up mine iniquity.14:18וְאוּלָם הַר־נוֹפֵל יִבּוֹל וְצוּר יֶעְתַּק מִמְּקֹמֽוֹ׃And surely the mountain falling crumbleth away, and the rock is removed out of its place;14:19אֲבָנִים ׀ שָׁחֲקוּ מַיִם תִּשְׁטֹֽף־סְפִיחֶיהָ עֲפַר־אָרֶץ וְתִקְוַת אֱנוֹשׁ הֶאֱבַֽדְתָּ׃The waters wear the stones; the overflowings thereof wash away the dust of the earth; so Thou destroyest the hope of man.14:20תִּתְקְפֵהוּ לָנֶצַח וַֽיַּהֲלֹךְ מְשַׁנֶּה פָנָיו וַֽתְּשַׁלְּחֵֽהוּ׃Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth; Thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.14:21יִכְבְּדוּ בָנָיו וְלֹא יֵדָע וְיִצְעֲרוּ וְֽלֹא־יָבִין לָֽמוֹ׃His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he regardeth them not.14:22אַךְ־בְּשָׂרוֹ עָלָיו יִכְאָב וְנַפְשׁוֹ עָלָיו תֶּאֱבָֽל׃פBut his flesh grieveth for him, and his soul mourneth over him.← previousJob 13next →Job 15↑ back to JobThis page in Markdown → https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/JOB/14/
