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 its stump die in the soil,

9yet at the scent of water it will bud and put out branches like a young plant.

10But a man dies and is laid low; man breathes his last, and where is he?

11As waters fail from a lake and a river wastes away and dries up,

12so a man lies down and rises not again; till the heavens are no more he will not awake or be roused out of his sleep.
