Job Laments the Finality of Death

ⓘ The flower symbolizes how short life is (Psalms...
1“Man, who is born of woman,is short of days and full of trouble.2Like a flower, he comes forth, then withers away;like a fleeting shadow, he does not endure.3Do You open Your eyes to one like this?Will You bring him into judgment before You?4Who can bring out clean from unclean?No one!5Since his days are determinedand the number of his months is with You,and since You have set limitsthat he cannot exceed,6look away from him and let him rest,so he can enjoy his day as a hired hand.
7For there is hope for a tree:If it is cut down, it will sprout again,and its tender shoots will not fail.8If its roots grow old in the groundand its stump dies in the soil,9at the scent of water it will budand put forth twigs like a sapling.10But a man dies and is laid low;he breathes his last, and where is he?11As water disappears from the seaand a river becomes parched and dry,12so a man lies downand does not rise.Until the heavens are no more,he will not be awakened or roused from sleep.
13If only You would hide me in Sheoland conceal me until Your anger has passed!If only You would appoint a time for meand then remember me!14When a man dies, will he live again?All the days of my hard service I will wait,until my renewal† comes.15You will call, and I will answer;You will desire the work of Your hands.16For then You would count my steps,but would not keep track of my sin.17My transgression would be sealed in a bag,and You would cover over my iniquity.
18But as a mountain erodes and crumblesand a rock is dislodged from its place,19as water wears away the stonesand torrents wash away the soil,so You destroy a man’s hope.20You forever overpower him, and he passes on;You change his countenance and send him away.21If his sons receive honor, he does not know it;if they are brought low, he is unaware.22He feels only the pain of his own bodyand mourns only for himself.”
