Job 14:1-5 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. They have only a few days to live. Their lives are full of trouble.

2. They grow like flowers, and then they dry up. They are like shadows that quickly disappear.

3. "God, why do you keep looking at someone like me? Are you planning to take me to court?

4. Who can bring what is pure from something that isn't pure? No one!

5. You decide how long anyone will live. You have established the number of his months. You have set a limit to the number of his days.
