Job Continues: Death Comes Soon to All

14 “Man who is (A)born of a woman
    is (B)few of days and (C)full of trouble.
He comes out like (D)a flower and (E)withers;
    he flees like (F)a shadow and continues not.
And do you (G)open your eyes on such a one
    and (H)bring me into judgment with you?
Who can bring (I)a clean thing out of an unclean?
    There is not one.
Since his (J)days are determined,
    and (K)the number of his months is with you,
    and you have appointed his limits that he cannot pass,
(L)look away from him and leave him alone,[a]
    that he may enjoy, like (M)a hired hand, his day.

“For there is hope for a tree,
    if it be cut down, that it will sprout again,
    and that its shoots will not cease.
