Job 14:1-3

Easy-to-Read Version

14 “We are all human beings.^[a]
    Our life is short and full of trouble.
² Our life is like a flower that grows quickly and then dies away.
    Our life is like a shadow that is here for a short time and then is gone.
³ God, do you need to keep an eye on something so small?
    Why bother to bring charges against me?
