Job 14:7-12
Christian Standard Bible
7 There is hope for a tree:
If it is cut down, it will sprout again,
and its shoots will not die.
8 If its roots grow old in the ground
and its stump starts to die in the soil,
9 the scent of water makes it thrive
and produce twigs like a sapling.(A)
10 But a person dies and fades away;
he breathes his last—where is he?
11 As water disappears from a lake
and a river becomes parched and dry,
12 so people lie down never to rise again.
They will not wake up until the heavens are no more;(B)
they will not stir from their sleep.
Job 14:7-12
Lexham English Bible
7 “Indeed, there is hope for a tree:
if it is cut down, then[a] it will sprout again,
and its new shoots will not cease;
8 though its root grows old in the earth,
and its stump dies in the dust,
9 at[b] the scent of water it will bud,
and it will put forth branches like a young plant.
10 “But[c] a man dies, and he dwindles away;
thus[d] a human being passes away, and where is he?[e]
11 As water disappears from a lake,
and a river withers away and dries up,[f]
12 so[g] a man lies down, and he does not arise.
Until the heavens are no more,[h] they will not awaken,
and they will not be roused out of their sleep.
