28 “Man, as a rotten thing, decays,
    as a garment that is moth eaten.

14 “Man who 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 does not continue.
Do You open Your eyes on such a one,
    and bring me into judgment with You?
Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?
    There is no one.
Seeing his days are determined,
    the number of his months are with You;
    You have appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
turn from him, that he may rest,
    until he, as a hired man, finishes his day.

28 And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is motheaten.

14 “Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble.

He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down; he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.

And dost Thou open Thine eyes upon such a one, and bringest me into judgment with Thee?

Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one!

Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with Thee; Thou hast appointed his bounds, that he cannot pass.

Turn from him, that he may rest, till, as a hireling, he shall accomplish his day.
