Job 13:28-14:6

Lexham English Bible

²⁸ And he himself ^[a]wastes away like something rotten,
like a garment that the moth has eaten.

14 “A human being born of a woman
is short of days and full of troubles.^[b]
2 Like a flower he comes up, and he withers away;
and he flees like a^[c] shadow, but^[d] he does not last.
³ Even on such a one you fix your eyes,
and you bring me into judgment with you.
⁴ “Who can bring a clean thing from an unclean thing?
No one!^[e]
5 If his days are determined, the number of his months is with you;
you have appointed his boundaries, and he cannot cross them.
⁶ Look away from him, and let him desist
until he enjoys his days like a laborer.
