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)
Notas al pie

Job 13:28-14:6
New Living Translation
28 I waste away like rotting wood,
like a moth-eaten coat.
14 “How frail is humanity!
How short is life, how full of trouble!
2 We blossom like a flower and then wither.
Like a passing shadow, we quickly disappear.
3 Must you keep an eye on such a frail creature
and demand an accounting from me?
4 Who can bring purity out of an impure person?
No one!
5 You have decided the length of our lives.
You know how many months we will live,
and we are not given a minute longer.
6 So leave us alone and let us rest!
We are like hired hands, so let us finish our work in peace.
