Job 14:1-6 New English Translation (NET)

1. “Man, born of woman,lives but a few days, and they are full of trouble.

2. He grows up like a flower and then withers away;he flees like a shadow, and does not remain.

3. Do you fix your eye on such a one?And do you bring me before you for judgment?

4. Who can make a clean thing come from an unclean?No one!

5. Since man’s days are determined,the number of his months is under your control;you have set his limit and he cannot pass it.

6. Look away from him and let him desist,until he fulfills his time like a hired man.
