Job 14:2-4

EasyEnglish Bible

² He is like a flower that grows
    and then it soon dies.
His life quickly disappears like a shadow.
³ I am only a human like that,
    so why do you watch me so carefully?
Why do you want to bring me into a court to judge me?
⁴ People are not clean and pure.
    Nobody can change them to become pure.
