6Turne from him that hee may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hircling, his day. 7For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut downe, that it will sprout againe, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease. 8Though the roote thereof waxe old in the earth, and the stocke thereof die in the ground: 9Yet through the sent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughes like a plant. 10But man dyeth, and wasteth away; yea, man giueth vp the ghost, and where is hee?
