Job 13:28-14:6
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.
Job 13:28-14:6
American Standard Version
28 [a]Though I am like a rotten thing that consumeth,
Like a garment that is moth-eaten.
14 Man, that is born of a woman,
Is of few days, and full of trouble.
2 He cometh forth like a flower, and [b]is cut down:
He fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
3 And dost thou open thine eyes upon such a one,
And bringest me into judgment with thee?
4 [c]Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
5 Seeing his days are determined,
The number of his months is with thee,
And thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
6 Look away from him, that he may [d]rest,
Till he shall [e]accomplish, as a hireling, his day.
