4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?Not one.
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?
