Job 13:28-14:6
Holman Christian Standard Bible
28 Man wears out like something rotten,
like a moth-eaten garment.(A)
14 Man 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 man’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 hand.(F)
Job 13:28-14:6
Lexham English Bible
28 And he himself [a]wastes away like something rotten,
like a garment that the moth has eaten.
Job Continues to Argue His Case with God
14 “A human being born of a woman
is short of days and full of troubles.[b]
2 Like a flower he comes up, and he withers away;
and he flees like a[c] shadow, but[d] he does not last.
3 Even on such a one you fix your eyes,
and you bring me into judgment with you.
4 “Who can bring a clean thing from an unclean thing?
No one![e]
5 If his days are determined, the number of his months is with you;
you have appointed his boundaries, and he cannot cross them.
6 Look away from him, and let him desist
until he enjoys his days like a laborer.
