Job 14:5-7
Good News Translation

5 The length of our lives is decided beforehand—
    the number of months we will live.
You have settled it, and it can't be changed.
6 Look away from us and leave us alone;[a]
    let us enjoy our hard life—if we can.[b]

7 There is hope for a tree that has been cut down;
    it can come back to life and sprout.
