Job 14:7-12

7For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.

8Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;

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

10But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?

11As the waters fail from the sea, and the river decayeth and drieth up;

12So man lieth down and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.
