Job Asks God for Favor Because of the Shortness of Life

 
"Man, who is born of a woman,is of few days, and full of trouble. +
He grows up like a flower, and is cut down.He also flees like a shadow, and doesn't continue. +
Do you open your eyes on such a one,and bring me into judgment with you? +
Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?Not one. +
Seeing his days are determined,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,until he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day. +
"For there is hope for a tree,If it is cut down, that it will sprout again,that the tender branch of it will not cease. +
Though its root grows old in the earth,and its stock dies in the ground,
yet through the scent of water it will bud,and sprout boughs like a plant. +
10 
But man dies, and is laid low.Yes, man gives up the spirit, and where is he? +
11 
As the waters fail from the sea,and the river wastes and dries up, +
12 
so man lies down and doesn't rise.Until the heavens are no more, they shall not awake,nor be roused out of their sleep. +
13 
"Oh that you would hide me in Sheol,that you would keep me secret, until your wrath is past,that you would appoint me a set time, and remember me! +
14 
If a man dies, shall he live again?All the days of my warfare would I wait,until my release should come. +
15 
You would call, and I would answer you.You would have a desire to the work of your hands. +
16 
But now you count my steps.Don't you watch over my sin? +
17 
My disobedience is sealed up in a bag.You fasten up my iniquity. +
18 
"But the mountain falling comes to nothing.The rock is removed out of its place; +
19 
The waters wear the stones.The torrents of it wash away the dust of the earth.So you destroy the hope of man. +
20 
You forever prevail against him, and he departs.You change his face, and send him away. +
21 
His sons come to honor, and he doesn't know it.They are brought low, but he doesn't perceive it of them. +
22 
But his flesh on him has pain,and his soul within him mourns." +
