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 13:28-14:6
New King James Version
28 “Man[a] decays like a rotten thing,
Like a garment that is moth-eaten.
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.
Job 13:28-14:6

3 Do you fix your eye on them?(J)
Will you bring them[a] before you for judgment?(K)
4 Who can bring what is pure(L) from the impure?(M)
No one!(N)
5 A person’s days are determined;(O)

and have set limits he cannot exceed.(Q)
6 So look away from him and let him alone,(R)
till he has put in his time like a hired laborer.(S)
