Job 13:28-14:6
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
28 One wastes away like a rotten thing,
like a garment that is moth-eaten.(A)
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)

Job Continues: Death Comes Soon to All
14 “Man who is (C)born of a woman
is (D)few of days and (E)full of trouble.
2 He comes out like (F)a flower and (G)withers;
he flees like (H)a shadow and continues not.
3 And do you (I)open your eyes on such a one
and (J)bring me into judgment with you?
4 Who can bring (K)a clean thing out of an unclean?
There is not one.
5 Since his (L)days are determined,
and (M)the number of his months is with you,
and you have appointed his limits that he cannot pass,
6 (N)look away from him and leave him alone,[b]
that he may enjoy, like (O)a hired hand, his day.
