Job 14:1-4 Job 14 - The Mortality of Man

1 “Man born of woman
is of few days and full of trouble.

2 He springs up like a flower and withers away;
like a fleeting shadow, he does not endure.

3 Do you fix your eye on such a one?
Will you bring him before you for judgment?

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