Context of Job 14:3

1Man, born of woman, is of few days, and full of trouble. 2He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down; and he fleeth as a shadow, and continueth not. Yet dost thou open thine eyes upon such a one, and bringest me into judgment with thee? 4Who can bring a clean [man] out of the unclean? Not one! 5If his days are determined, if the number of his months is with thee, [and] thou hast appointed his bounds which he must not pass,
