Job 14:22

 1 “Mortals, born of woman,   are of few days   and full of trouble.    2 They spring up like flowers   and wither away;   like fleeting shadows,   they do not endure.    3 Do you fix your eye on them?   Will you bring them  before you for judgment?    4 Who can bring what is pure   from the impure?   No one!    5 A person’s days are determined;   you have decreed the number of his months   and have set limits he cannot exceed.    6 So look away from him and let him alone,   till he has put in his time like a hired laborer.    7 “At least there is hope for a tree:   If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its new shoots   will not fail.    8 Its roots may grow old in the ground and its stump   die in the soil,  9 yet at the scent of water   it will bud and put forth shoots like a plant.    10 But a man dies and is laid low;   he breathes his last and is no more.    11 As the water of a lake dries up or a riverbed becomes parched and dry,    12 so he lies down and does not rise;   till the heavens are no more,   people will not awake or be roused from their sleep.    13 “If only you would hide me in the grave   and conceal me till your anger has passed!   If only you would set me a time and then remember   me!    14 If someone dies, will they live again? All the days of my hard service   I will wait for my renewal    to come.  15 You will call and I will answer you;   you will long for the creature your hands have made.    16 Surely then you will count my steps   but not keep track of my sin.    17 My offenses will be sealed   up in a bag;   you will cover over my sin.    18 “But as a mountain erodes and crumbles   and as a rock is moved from its place,    19 as water wears away stones and torrents   wash away the soil,   so you destroy a person’s hope.    20 You overpower them once for all, and they are gone;   you change their countenance and send them away.    21 If their children are honored, they do not know it; if their offspring are brought low, they do not see it.    22 They feel but the pain of their own bodies   and mourn only for themselves.  ”

From Wikipedia: 

The New International Version (NIV) is an English translation of the Bible first published in 1978 by Biblica (formerly the International Bible Society). The NIV was published to meet the need for a modern translation done by Bible scholars using the earliest, highest quality manuscripts available. Of equal importance was that the Bible be expressed in broadly understood modern English.

The NIV is published by Zondervan in the United States and Hodder & Stoughton in the UK. The NIV was updated in 1984 and 2011 and has become one of the most popular and best-selling modern translations.
