Job 14:4-6

The Voice

⁴     Who can take what is impure and defiled
        to fashion something pure and pristine?
        No one! We are, after all, so different in nature.
⁵     Since a person’s life is fixed,
        and You are the One who determines the number of his months,
    And You set a limit on the length of her life,
        and since they are incapable of exceeding Your decree,
⁶     The least You can do is turn Your gaze away from him until they pass,
        so that he can enjoy his day like a hired worker.
