Bible in Basic English
"Is it on such a one as this that your eyes are fixed, with the purpose of judging him?"
— Job 14:3, Bible in Basic English
“And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?”
As for man, the son of woman, his days are short and full of trouble.
He comes out like a flower, and is cut down: he goes in flight like a shade, and is never seen again.
Is it on such a one as this that your eyes are fixed, with the purpose of judging him?
If only a clean thing might come out of an unclean! But it is not possible.
If his days are ordered, and you have knowledge of the number of his months, having given him a fixed limit past which he may not go;
Let your eyes be turned away from him, and take your hand from him, so that he may have pleasure at the end of his day, like a servant working for payment.
