Context of Job 14:5

3Yet dost thou open thine eyes upon such a one, and bringest me into judgment with thee? 4Who can bring a clean [man] out of the unclean? Not one! If his days are determined, if the number of his months is with thee, [and] thou hast appointed his bounds which he must not pass, 6Look away from him; and let him rest, till he accomplish, as a hireling, his day. 7For there is hope for a tree: if it be cut down, it will sprout again, and its tender branch will not cease;
