28 Man[a] wastes away like a rotten thing,
    like a garment that is moth-eaten.

14 “Man that is born of a woman
    is of few days, and full of trouble.
He comes forth like a flower, and withers;
    he flees like a shadow, and continues not.
And dost thou open thy eyes upon such a one
    and bring him[b] into judgment with thee?
Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?
    There is not one.
Since his days are determined,
    and the number of his months is with thee,
    and thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass,
look away from him, and desist,[c]
    that he may enjoy, like a hireling, his day.
