Job 14:7-12

Thomson(i) 7 For there is hope for a tree; for if lopped, it may sprout again, and the tender branch may not fail. 8 And if its root become old in the earth, or die on a rock: 9 its stem by the scent of water may blossom; and produce a crop like a tree lately planted. 10 But when a man dieth he is gone: when a mortal falleth, he is no more. 11 For in a course of time a sea is spent; and a river when unsupplied is dried up: 12 and man when composed in the grave cannot rise again; until the heaven be folded up; they shall not be awakened from their sleep.
