Job 14:7-12

7For there is hope for a tree: if it be cut down, it will sprout again, and its tender branch will not cease;

8Though its root grow old in the earth, and its stock die in the ground,

9Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and put forth boughs like a young plant.

10But a man dieth, and is prostrate; yea, man expireth, and where is he?

11The waters recede from the lake, and the river wasteth and drieth up:

12So man lieth down, and riseth not again; till the heavens be no more, they do not awake, nor are raised out of their sleep.
