Job 14:7-9

International Children’s Bible

⁷ “There is hope for a tree.
    If you cut it down, it will grow again.
    It will keep sending out new branches.
⁸ Its roots may grow old in the ground.
    And its stump may die in the dirt.
⁹ But at the smell of water it will bud.
    It will put out new shoots like a plant.
