5. Seeing his days are determined,the number of his months is with you,and you have appointed his bounds that he can’t pass;
6. Look away from him, that he may rest,until he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day.
7. “For there is hope for a tree,If it is cut down, that it will sprout again,that the tender branch of it will not cease.
8. Though its root grows old in the earth,and its stock dies in the ground,
9. yet through the scent of water it will bud,and sprout boughs like a plant.
10. But man dies, and is laid low.Yes, man gives up the spirit, and where is he?
11. As the waters fail from the sea,and the river wastes and dries up,
12. so man lies down and doesn’t rise.Until the heavens are no more, they shall not awake,nor be roused out of their sleep.
