28 Man1 wastes away like ia rotten thing,

like a garment that is jmoth-eaten.

Job Continues: Death Comes Soon to All

14 “Man who is kborn of a woman

is lfew of days and mfull of trouble.

2 He comes out like na flower and owithers;

he flees like pa shadow and continues not.

3 And do you qopen your eyes on such a one

and rbring me into judgment with you?

4 Who can bring sa clean thing out of an unclean?

There is not one.

5 Since his tdays are determined,

and uthe number of his months is with you,

and you have appointed his limits that he cannot pass,

6 vlook away from him and leave him alone,2

that he may enjoy, like wa hired hand, his day.
