Job 14:1-3

International Standard Version

14 Human beings born by women
    are short-lived^[a] and full of trouble.
² He springs up^[b] like a flower and then withers.^[c]
    Like a shadow, he disappears^[d] and doesn’t last.
³ Indeed, have you opened your eyes on one like this—
    to bring me into a legal fight with you?
