Job 14:1-6 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

1. “All of us born to womenlive only a few days and have a lot of trouble.

2. We grow up like flowers and then dry up and go away.We are like a passing shadow that does not last.

3. Lord, do you need to watch someone like this?Do you need to bring him before you to be judged?

4. I wish something clean could come from something unclean.But it never can!

5. Our time is limited.You have given us only so many months to live.You have set limits we cannot go beyond.

6. So look away from us and leave us alone.Leave us alone until we put in our time like a hired man.
