Job 13:28-14:6

Modern English Version

²⁸ “Man, as a rotten thing, decays,
    as a garment that is moth eaten.

14 “Man who is born of a woman
    is of few days and full of trouble.
² He comes forth like a flower and withers;
    he flees like a shadow and does not continue.
³ Do You open Your eyes on such a one,
    and bring me into judgment with You?
⁴ Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?
    There is no one.
⁵ Seeing his days are determined,
    the number of his months are with You;
    You have appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
⁶ turn from him, that he may rest,
    until he, as a hired man, finishes his day.
