# He sprouts from the ground like a flower and is cut down

# he flees like a shadow and does not last

# Do you look at any of these?
|
|
|
|
Job implies that he does not want God to pay so much attention to him. AT: "You do not look at any of these." or "You do not pay so much attention to these. Please do not pay so much attention to me." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
|

# look at
|
|
|

Here looking at some one represents paying attention to him in order to judge him. AT: "pay attention to" or "look for faults in"
|

|
|
# Do you bring me into judgment with you?
|
|
|
|
Job uses this question to show his surprise that God judges him even though Job is so insignificant like the flowers. AT: "But you judge me." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
