Job 14:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ The days of man are short, and the number of his months is with thee: thou hast appointed his bounds which cannot be passed.

⁶ Depart a little from him, that he may rest, until his wished for day come, as that of the hireling.

⁷ A tree hath hope: if it be cut, it groweth green again, and the boughs thereof sprout.
