Job 13:28-14:6
Expanded Bible
28 “Everyone wears out like something rotten,
like clothing eaten by moths.
14 “·All of us [L Human beings; T Man] born ·to women [T of woman]
·live only a few [L are short of] days and ·have lots [full] of trouble.
2 ·We [L They] grow up like flowers and then ·dry up and die [L wither].
·We are like a passing [L …and flee like a] shadow that does not last.
3 Lord, do you need to watch me like this?
Must you bring me before you to be judged?
4 No one can bring something clean [C in a ritual sense] from something unclean.
5 ·Our [L If their] time is limited.
You have given ·us [L them] only so many months to live
and have set limits ·we [L they] cannot go beyond.
6 So look away from us and ·leave us alone [stop; desist]
until we put in our time like a laborer [C until death].

New American Standard Bible
Job Speaks of the Finality of Death
14 “(B)Man, who is born of woman,
Is [b]short-lived and (C)full of turmoil.
2 (D)Like a flower he comes out and withers.
He also flees like (E)a shadow and does not remain.
3 You also (F)open Your eyes on him
And (G)bring [c]him into judgment with Yourself.
4 (H)Who can make the clean out of the unclean?
No one!
5 Since his days are determined,
The (I)number of his months is with You;
And You have [d]set his limits so that he cannot pass.
6 (J)Look away from him so that he may [e]rest,
Until he [f]fulfills his day like a hired worker.
