Job 14:4-6

International Children’s Bible

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.
⁶ So look away from us and leave us alone.
    Leave us alone until we put in our time like a hired man.
