Man born of a woman, living for a short time, is filled with many miseries. Who cometh forth like a flower, and is destroyed, and fleeth as a shadow, and never continueth in the same state. And dost thou think it meet to open thy eyes upon such an one, and to bring him into judgment with thee?. . . The days of man are short, and the number of his months is with thee: thou hast appointed his bounds which cannot be passed.
-- Job 14
