Job 14:3-5

International Children’s Bible

³ Lord, do you need to watch someone like this?
    Do you need to bring him before you to be judged?
⁴ I wish something clean could come from something unclean.
    But it never can!
⁵ Our time is limited.
    You have given us only so many months to live.
    You have set limits we cannot go beyond.
