Exegesis
The participle yelud {יְלוּד | yə-lûḏ} ‘born’ functions adjectivally, characterizing humanity by origin, and it is completed by the genitive relation with ishshah {אִשָּׁה | ʾiš-šāh} ‘woman,’ forming a compact expression for human frailty from birth.
In context — Job 14:1
Man born of woman is short of days and full of turmoil .
