Job 14:4–5

⁶That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

¹⁴What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

³Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

⁸So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

⁹But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

⁴How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

⁵Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.

³⁵And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

⁵Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

¹²Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

⁵Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

³¶ And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:

⁴Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.

²⁶And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

¹⁰In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.

²⁷And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

²⁹Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

²⁶This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.

²¹For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?

²⁰But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

¹³But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.

¹⁴For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.

³⁵And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

⁹Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.

¹IS there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling?

¹⁴If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.

⁷And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

³⁰¶ In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.

³⁶And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.

²⁴Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

¹⁸I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
