6. Look away from him that he may rest,Till like a hired man he finishes his day.
7. “For there is hope for a tree,If it is cut down, that it will sprout again,And that its tender shoots will not cease.
8. Though its root may grow old in the earth,And its stump may die in the ground,
9. Yet at the scent of water it will budAnd bring forth branches like a plant.
10. But man dies and is laid away;Indeed he breathes his lastAnd where is he?
11. As water disappears from the sea,And a river becomes parched and dries up,
12. So man lies down and does not rise.Till the heavens are no more,They will not awakeNor be roused from their sleep.
