Context of Job 14:3
1“Man, who is born of a woman, Is short-lived and full of turmoil. 2Like a flower he comes forth and withers; He also flees like a shadow and does not remain. You also open Your eyes upon him And bring him into judgment with Yourself. 4Who can make a clean thing out of the unclean? No one! 5Since his days are determined, The number of his months is with You [in Your control], And You have made his limits so he cannot pass [his allotted time].
