Job 14:2-4

International Standard Version

² He springs up^[a] like a flower and then withers.^[b]
    Like a shadow, he disappears^[c] and doesn’t last.
³ Indeed, have you opened your eyes on one like this—
    to bring me into a legal fight with you?
⁴ Who can produce a clean thing from an unclean thing?
    No one!
