4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? No one.
5 Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass.
6 If thou should leave him, he will cease to exist; until then, he shall desire, as a hireling, his day.
7 For there is yet hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again and that its tender branch will not cease.
8 Though its root waxes old in the earth and its trunk is dead in the ground,
9 at the scent of water it will bud and bring forth boughs like a new plant.
10 But when man shall die and be cut off, and the man shall perish, where shall he be?
