The stones are crushed small by the force of the waters; the dust of the earth is washed away by their overflowing: and so you put an end to the hope of man.
But truly a mountain falling comes to dust, and a rock is moved from its place;
If only a clean thing might come out of an unclean! But it is not possible.
If his days are ordered, and you have knowledge of the number of his months, having given him a fixed limit past which he may not go;
Job 16
Will you be hard on a leaf in flight before the wind? will you make a dry stem go more quickly on its way?
What is the number of my evil-doings and my sins? give me knowledge of them.
Be pleased, now, to be responsible for me to yourself; for there is no other who will put his hand in mine.
Were you the first man to come into the world? or did you come into being before the hills?
Give ear with care to my words, and keep what I say in your minds.
It is by your mouth, even yours, that you are judged to be in the wrong, and not by me; and your lips give witness against you.
My spirit is broken, my days are ended, the last resting-place is ready for me.
He comes out like a flower, and is cut down: he goes in flight like a shade, and is never seen again.
Their mouths are open wide against me; the blows of his bitter words are falling on my face; all of them come together in a mass against me.
(The things which wise men have got from their fathers, and have not kept secret from us;
My wrongdoing is corded up in a bag, and my sin is shut up safe.
Let him not put his hope in what is false, falling into error: for he will get deceit as his reward.
And that will be my salvation, for an evil-doer would not come before him,
The evil man is in pain all his days, and the number of the years stored up for the cruel is small.
As for him who is false to his friend for a reward, light will be cut off from the eyes of his children.
Were you present at the secret meeting of God? and have you taken all wisdom for yourself?
Why is your face veiled from me, as if I was numbered among your haters?
The waters go from a pool, and a river becomes waste and dry;
Job 14
And you put chains on my feet, watching all my ways, and making a limit for my steps;
Will a wise man make answer with knowledge of no value, or will he give birth to the east wind?
Why is your heart uncontrolled, and why are your eyes lifted up;
Let your eyes be turned away from him, and take your hand from him, so that he may have pleasure at the end of his day, like a servant working for payment.
Your wise sayings are only dust, and your strong places are only earth.
