Job 14:7 CPDV

⁵  The days of man are short, and the number of his months is with you; you have determined his limits, which cannot be surpassed.

⁶  Withdraw a little from him, so that he may rest, until his awaited day arrives, like that of the hired hand.

⁷  A tree has hope: if it has been cut, it turns green again, and its branches spring forth.

⁸  If its roots grow old in the earth, and its trunk passes into dust,

⁹  at the scent of water, it will sprout and bring forth leaves, as when it had first been planted.
