Job 14:7-12
1599 Geneva Bible
7 For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will yet sprout, and the branches thereof will not cease.
8 Though the root of it wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof be dead in the ground,
9 Yet by the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
10 [a]But man is sick, and dieth, and man perisheth, and where is he?
11 As the waters pass from the sea, and as the flood decayeth and drieth up,
12 So man sleepeth and riseth not: for he shall not wake again, nor be raised from his sleep till the heaven be no more.
