Job 14:5

Read in context

Job 14:3–7 · Berean Standard Bible

3 Do You open Your eyes to one like this? Will You bring him into judgment before You?

4 Who can bring out clean from unclean? No one!

5 Since his days are determined and the number of his months is with You, and since You have set limits that he cannot exceed,

6 look away from him and let him rest, so he can enjoy his day as a hired hand.

7 For there is hope for a tree: If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its tender shoots will not fail.
