Job 14:3-5

EasyEnglish Bible

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.
⁵ You have decided how long people should live.
    You control the number of months that each person will live.
    Nobody can live any longer than that.
