Job 14:5-7
The Voice

5     Since a person’s life is fixed,
        and You are the One who determines the number of his months,
    And You set a limit on the length of her life,
        and since they are incapable of exceeding Your decree,
6     The least You can do is turn Your gaze away from him until they pass,
        so that he can enjoy his day like a hired worker.

7     You know, at least there is a kind of hope for a tree:
        if it gets cut down, it may yet sprout again out of the roots.
        And very likely then, its tender shoots will not die.
