Context of Job 14:3

1“Man, born of woman, lives but a few days, and they are full of trouble. 2He grows up like a flower and then withers away; he flees like a shadow, and does not remain. Do you fix your eye on such a one? And do you bring me before you for judgment? 4Who can make a clean thing come from an unclean? No one! 5Since man’s days are determined, the number of his months is under your control; you have set his limit and he cannot pass it.
