Job 13:28-14:6

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁸ So a man rots away like a garment eaten by moths.

14 Man born of woman has a few short days,
and they are full of anxiety.
² He blossoms like a flower, but soon withers.
He recedes like a shadow and does not remain.
³ You keep your eye on such a man.
You bring me^[a] into judgment in your presence.
⁴ Who can produce something pure from something that is impure?
No one.
⁵ Certainly his days are determined.
The number of his months has been set by you.
A limit is set, which he cannot exceed.
⁶ Turn your gaze away from him, and let him be,
until he finishes his day’s work as a hired man.
