Job 13:28-14:6
Christian Standard Bible
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)
2 He blossoms like a flower, then withers;(C)
he flees like a shadow and does not last.
3 Do you really take notice of one like this?
Will you bring me into judgment against you?[a](D)
4 Who can produce something pure from what is impure?
No one!
5 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)
6 look away from him and let him rest
so that he can enjoy his day like a hired worker.(F)
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)
