Job Speaks of the Finality of Death

1“Man, who is born of woman,
Is short-lived and full of turmoil.
2“Like a flower he comes out 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 You have set his limits so that he cannot pass.
6“Look away from him so that he may rest,
Until he fulfills his day like a hired worker.
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,
9At the scent of water it will flourish
And produce sprigs like a plant.
10“But a man dies and lies prostrate.
A person passes away, and where is he?
11“As water evaporates from the sea,
And a river becomes parched and dried up,
12So a man lies down and does not rise.
Until the heavens no longer exist,
He will not awake nor be woken from his sleep.
13“Oh that You would hide me in Sheol,
That You would conceal me until Your wrath returns to You,
That You would set a limit for me and remember me!
