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
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)
