Job 14:7-12

7“For there is hope for a tree, When it is cut down, that it will sprout again, And its shoots will not 1fail.8Though its roots grow old in the ground, And its stump dies in the dry soil,9At the scent of water it will flourish And produce sprigs like a plant.10But 2a man dies and lies prostrate. A person 3passes away, and where is he?11As 4water 5evaporates from the sea, And a river becomes parched and dried up,12So 6a man lies down and does not rise. Until the heavens no longer exist, 7He will not awake nor be woken from 8his sleep.
