Job 14:1-8 (New International Version)
View In My Bible
1
"Man born of woman1 is of few days2 and full of trouble.3
2
He springs up like a flower4 and withers away;5 like a fleeting shadow,6 he does not endure.7
3
Do you fix your eye on such a one?8 Will you bring hima before you for judgment?9
4
Who can bring what is pure10 from the impure?11 No one!12
5
Man's days are determined;13 you have decreed the number of his months14 and have set limits he cannot exceed.15
6
So look away from him and let him alone,16 till he has put in his time like a hired man.17
7
"At least there is hope for a tree:18 If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its new shoots19 will not fail.20
8
Its roots may grow old in the ground and its stump21 die in the soil,
