Job 14:4-12
New King James Version
4 Who (A)can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?
No one!
5 (B)Since his days are determined,
The number of his months is with You;
You have appointed his limits, so that he cannot pass.
6 (C)Look away from him that he may [a]rest,
Till (D)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.
8 Though its root may grow old in the earth,
And its stump may die in the ground,
9 Yet at the scent of water it will bud
And bring forth branches like a plant.
10 But man dies and [b]is laid away;
Indeed he [c]breathes his last
And where is (E)he?
11 As water disappears from the sea,
And a river becomes parched and dries up,
12 So man lies down and does not rise.
(F)Till the heavens are no more,
They will not awake
Nor be roused from their sleep.
