Job 14:6

3 And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?

4 Who can bring a clean [thing] out of an unclean? not one.

5 Seeing his days [are] determined, the number of his months [are] with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;

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.
