28 though I am decaying like a rotten thing,
    like a garment that is moth-eaten.

14 “Man, who is born of a woman,
    is of few days, and full of trouble.
He grows up like a flower, and is cut down.
    He also flees like a shadow, and doesn’t 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?
    Not one.
    Seeing his days are determined,
    the number of his months is with you,
    and you have appointed his bounds that he can’t pass;
Look away from him, that he may rest,
    until he accomplishes, as a hireling, his day.

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.
