Job 14:6-12 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

6. Look away from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day.

7. For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.

8. Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;

9. Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and put forth boughs like a plant.

10. But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?

11. As the waters fail from the sea, and the river decayeth and drieth up;

12. So man lieth down and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.
