Job 14:7-12
7For there isH3426 hopeH8615 of a treeH6086, if it be cut downH3772, that it will sprout againH2498, and that the tender branchH3127 thereof will not ceaseH2308.
8Though the rootH8328 thereof wax oldH2204 in the earthH776, and the stockH1503 thereof dieH4191 in the groundH6083;
9Yet through the scentH7381 of waterH4325 it will budH6524, and bring forthH6213 boughsH7105 like a plantH5194.
10But manH1397 diethH4191, and wasteth awayH2522: yea, manH120 giveth up the ghostH1478, and where is he?1
11As the watersH4325 failH235 from the seaH3220, and the floodH5104 decayethH2717 and drieth upH3001:
12So manH376 lieth downH7901, and risethH6965 not: till the heavensH8064 be no moreH1115, they shall not awakeH6974, nor be raised outH5782 of their sleepH8142.
