Job 14:7-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 “For there is hope for a tree,
if it is cut down, that it will sprout again
and that its shoots will not cease.
8 Though its root grows old in the earth
and its stump dies in the ground,
9 yet at the scent of water it will bud
and put forth branches like a young plant.(A)
10 But mortals die and are laid low;
humans expire, and where are they?(B)
11 As waters fail from a lake
and a river wastes away and dries up,(C)
12 so mortals lie down and do not rise again;
until the heavens are no more, they will not awake
or be roused out of their sleep.(D)

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)
