Job 14:7-12
New American Standard Bible
Job 14:7-12
New American Standard Bible
7 “For there is hope for a tree,
When it is cut down, that it will sprout again,
And its shoots will not [a]fail.
8 Though its roots grow old in the ground,
And its stump dies in the dry soil,
9 At the scent of water it will flourish
And produce sprigs like a plant.
10 But (A)a man dies and lies prostrate.
A person (B)passes away, and where is he?
11 As (C)water [b]evaporates from the sea,
And a river becomes parched and dried up,
12 So (D)a man lies down and does not rise.
Until the heavens no longer exist,
[c]He will not awake nor be woken from [d]his sleep.

Job 14:7-12
New International Version
7 “At least there is hope for a tree:(A)
If it is cut down, it will sprout again,
and its new shoots(B) will not fail.(C)
8 Its roots may grow old in the ground
and its stump(D) die in the soil,
9 yet at the scent of water(E) it will bud
and put forth shoots like a plant.(F)
10 But a man dies and is laid low;(G)
he breathes his last and is no more.(H)
11 As the water of a lake dries up
or a riverbed becomes parched and dry,(I)
12 so he lies down and does not rise;(J)
till the heavens are no more,(K) people will not awake
or be roused from their sleep.(L)

Job 14:7-12
King James Version
7 For 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.
8 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
9 Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
10 But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
11 As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:
12 So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
