Job Continues to Argue His Case with God
14“A human being born of a woman
is short of days and full of troubles.a
2Like a flower he comes up, and he withers away;
and he flees like ab shadow, butc he does not last.
3Even on such a one you fix your eyes,
and you bring me into judgment with you.
4“Who can bring a clean thing from an unclean thing?
No one!d

ESVEnglish Standard Version
“Man who is born of a woman
is few of days and full of trouble.
He comes out like a flower and withers;
he flees like a shadow and continues not.
And do you open your eyes on such a one
and bring me into judgment with you?
Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?
There is not one.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
“Mortals, born of woman,
are of few days and full of trouble.
They spring up like flowers and wither away;
like fleeting shadows, they do not endure.
Do you fix your eye on them?
Will you bring them before you for judgment?
Who can bring what is pure from the impure?
No one!

CSBChristian Standard Bible
Anyone born of woman is short of days and full of trouble.
He blossoms like a flower, then withers;
he flees like a shadow and does not last.
Do you really take notice of one like this?
Will you bring me into judgment against you?
Who can produce something pure from what is impure?
No one!

NLTNew Living Translation
“How frail is humanity!
How short is life, how full of trouble!
We blossom like a flower and then wither.
Like a passing shadow, we quickly disappear.
Must you keep an eye on such a frail creature
and demand an accounting from me?
Who can bring purity out of an impure person?
No one!

KJV 1900King James Version
Man that is born of a woman
Is of few days, and full of trouble.
He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down:
He fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one,
And bringest me into judgment with thee?
Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?
Not one.
