Job 14:6-14
-
6 Turn 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 bring 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 flood decayeth and drieth up:
-
12 So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
-
13 O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!
-
14 If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
