Job 13:28-14:6
World English Bible
28 though I am decaying like a rotten thing,
like a garment that is moth-eaten.
14 “Man, who is born of a woman,
is of few days, and full of trouble.
2 He grows up like a flower, and is cut down.
He also flees like a shadow, and doesn’t 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?
Not one.
5 Seeing his days are determined,
the number of his months is with you,
and you have appointed his bounds that he can’t pass;
6 Look away from him, that he may rest,
until he accomplishes, as a hireling, his day.

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)

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)
