Job 14:5-7

New King James Version

⁵^(A)Since his days are determined,
The number of his months is with You;
You have appointed his limits, so that he cannot pass.
⁶^(B)Look away from him that he may ^[a]rest,
Till ^(C)like a hired man he finishes his day.

⁷“For there is hope for a tree,
If it is cut down, that it will sprout again,
And that its tender shoots will not cease.
