28 A person wears out like something rotten,
like a moth-eaten garment.(A)

14 Anyone born of woman
is short of days and full of trouble.(B)
He blossoms like a flower, then withers;(C)
he flees like a shadow and does not last.
Do you really take notice of one like this?
Will you bring me into judgment against you?[a](D)
Who can produce something pure from what is impure?
No one!
Since a person’s days are determined
and the number of his months depends on you,
and since you have set[b] limits he cannot pass,(E)
look away from him and let him rest
so that he can enjoy his day like a hired worker.(F)
