Job 14:8-10

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁸ Though its roots lie dormant in the earth,
and its stump is dying in the dust,
⁹ with just a whiff of water, it shoots up again.
As a growing plant, it again sends out branches.
¹⁰ But if a man dies, he shrivels away.
When a person breathes his last, where is he?
