Job

Job 14:1–4

¹“Man, who is born of woman,

is short of days and full of trouble.

²Like a flower, he comes forth, then withers away;

like a fleeting shadow, he does not endure.

³Do You open Your eyes to one like this?

Will You bring him into judgment before You?

⁴Who can bring out clean from unclean?

No one!
