## Job 14:7-12 in Context (Verses 4–15 KJV)
 
 [4 ](/kjv/job/14/4) Who can bring a clean *thing* out of an unclean? not one.*
 
 [5 ](/kjv/job/14/5) Seeing his days *are* determined, the number of his months *are* with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
 
 [6 ](/kjv/job/14/6) Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day.*
 
 [7 ](/kjv/job/14/7) 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 ](/kjv/job/14/8) Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
 
 [9 ](/kjv/job/14/9) *Yet* through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/job/14/10) But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where *is* he?*
 
 [11 ](/kjv/job/14/11) *As* the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:
 
 [12 ](/kjv/job/14/12) So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens *be* no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/job/14/13) O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!
 
 [14 ](/kjv/job/14/14) If a man die, shall he live *again*? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/job/14/15) Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.
 
[Job 13](/kjv/job/13) [Job 15](/kjv/job/15)
