Job 14:5-7

Revised Standard Version

⁵Since his days are determined,
    and the number of his months is with thee,
    and thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass,
⁶look away from him, and desist,^[a]
    that he may enjoy, like a hireling, his day.

⁷“For there is hope for a tree,
if it be cut down, that it will sprout again,
and that its shoots will not cease.
