Job 13:28-14:6

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

14 “A mortal, born of woman, few of days and full of trouble,^(B)
2     comes up like a flower and withers,
    flees like a shadow and does not last.^(C)
3 Do you fix your eyes on such a one?
    Do you bring me into judgment with you?^(D)
4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?
    No one can.^(E)
5 Since their days are determined,
    and the number of their months is known to you,
    and you have appointed the bounds that they cannot pass,^(F)
6 look away from them and desist,^[a]
    that they may enjoy, like laborers, their days.^(G)
