Job 14:7-12

Leeser(i) 7 For there is hope for the tree: if it be cut down, it may still sprout again, while its young shoot will not cease. 8 If even its root become old in the earth, and its stock die in the dust: 9 Yet through the scent of water will it flourish again, and produce boughs as though it were newly planted. 10 But man dieth, and lieth powerless: yea, the son of earth departeth—and where is he? 11 The waters run off from the sea, and the river faileth and drieth up: 12 So doth man lie down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they will not awake, and will not be roused out of their sleep.
