6. Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as a sachir (a hired man), his day.
7. For there is tikveh of an etz, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
8. Though the shoresh (root) thereof grow old in ha'aretz, and the stump thereof die in the aphar (dust),
9. Yet through the scent of mayim it will bud, and bring forth branches like a young plant.
10. But gever dieth, and wasteth away; yea, adam breathes his last, and where is he?
11. As the mayim flow away from the yam, and the nahar (stream) becomes parched and drieth up,
12. So ish lieth down, and riseth not, till Shomayim be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
13. O that Thou wouldest hide me in Sheol, that Thou wouldest conceal me until Thy wrath has passed, that Thou wouldest appoint me a chok (set time), and remember me!
