Job 14:7-12

7 “For there is hope for a tree,
if it be cut down, that it will sprout again,
and that its shoots will not cease.
8Though its root grow old in the earth,
and aits stump die in the soil,
9yet at the scent of water it will bud
and put out bbranches like a young plant.
10But a man dies and is laid low;
man breathes his last, and cwhere is he?
11 dAs waters fail from a lake
and a river wastes away and dries up,
12so a man lies down and rises not again;
till ethe heavens are no more he will not awake
or be froused out of his sleep.
