New King James Version (NKJV)
Job 13
25 Will You frighten a leaf driven to and fro? And will You pursue dry stubble?
26 For You write bitter things against me, And make me inherit the iniquities of my youth.
27 You put my feet in the stocks, And watch closely all my paths. You set a limit for the soles of my feet.
28 "Man decays like a rotten thing, Like a garment that is moth-eaten.
Job 14
1 "Man who is born of woman Is of few days and full of trouble.
2 He comes forth like a flower and fades away; He flees like a shadow and does not continue.
3 And do You open Your eyes on such a one, And bring me to judgment with Yourself?
4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? No one!
5 Since his days are determined, The number of his months is with You; You have appointed his limits, so that he cannot pass.
6 Look away from him that he may rest, Till like a hired man he finishes his day.
7 "For there is hope for a tree, If it is cut down, that it will sprout again, And that its tender shoots will not cease.
