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!
— Job 14:1-4
