If the number of his days
    and the number of his months are determined by you,
        and you set his limit,
    then he cannot go past it.
Look away from him, and he will cease to be.[a]

There is hope for a tree when it is cut down.
    It will sprout again.
    Its shoots will not stop sprouting.
