Job 14:4-6

Easy-to-Read Version

⁴ “No one can make something clean from something so dirty.
⁵ The length of our life has been decided.
    You alone know how long that is.
    You have set the limits for us and nothing can change them.
⁶ So stop watching us; leave us alone,
    and let us enjoy this hard life until we have put in our time.
