Job 13:28-14:6
Legacy Standard Bible

28 While [a]I am decaying like a (A)rotten thing,
Like a garment that is moth-eaten.

If a Man Dies, Will He Live Again?

14 “(B)Man, who is born of woman,
Is [b]short-lived and (C)full of turmoil.
2 (D)Like a flower he comes forth and withers.
He also flees like (E)a shadow and does not stand.
3 You also (F)open Your eyes on him
And (G)bring [c]me into judgment with Yourself.
4 (H)Who can make the clean out of the unclean?
No one!
5 Since his days are determined,
The (I)number of his months is with You;
And his limits You have [d]set so that he cannot pass.
6 (J)Turn Your gaze from him that he may cease from toil,
Until he accepts his day like a hired man.
