Job 13:28-14:6
Authorized (King James) Version
Job 13:28-14:6
Authorized (King James) Version
28 And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth,
as a garment that is moth eaten.
14 Man that is born of a woman is of few days,
and full of trouble.
2 He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down:
he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
3 And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one,
and bringest me into judgment with thee?
4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
5 Seeing his days are determined,
the number of his months are with thee,
thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
6 turn from him, that he may rest,
till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day.

Job Speaks of Life’s Woes
14 “Man who is born of woman
Is of few days and (A)full of [b]trouble.
2 (B)He comes forth like a flower and fades away;
He flees like a shadow and does not continue.
3 And (C)do You open Your eyes on such a one,
And (D)bring [c]me to judgment with Yourself?
4 Who (E)can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?
No one!
5 (F)Since his days are determined,
The number of his months is with You;
You have appointed his limits, so that he cannot pass.
6 (G)Look away from him that he may [d]rest,
Till (H)like a hired man he finishes his day.
