Job 14:1-7

New Living Translation NLT

1 “How frail is humanity! How short is life, how full of trouble!

2 We blossom like a flower and then wither. Like a passing shadow, we quickly disappear.

3 Must you keep an eye on such a frail creature and demand an accounting from me?

4 Who can bring purity out of an impure person? No one!

5 You have decided the length of our lives. You know how many months we will live, and we are not given a minute longer.

6 So leave us alone and let us rest! We are like hired hands, so let us finish our work in peace.

7 “Even a tree has more hope! If it is cut down, it will sprout again and grow new branches.

New International Version NIV

1 “Mortals, born of woman, are of few days and full of trouble.

2 They spring up like flowers and wither away; like fleeting shadows, they do not endure.

3 Do you fix your eye on them? Will you bring them before you for judgment?

4 Who can bring what is pure from the impure? No one!

5 A person’s days are determined; you have decreed the number of his months and have set limits he cannot exceed.

6 So look away from him and let him alone, till he has put in his time like a hired laborer.

7 “At least there is hope for a tree: If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its new shoots will not fail.
