Job 14:7-12
Legacy Standard Bible
7 “For there is hope for a tree,
When it is cut down, that it will change back sprouting again,
And its shoots will not cease.
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 put forth sprigs like a plant.
10 But (A)man dies and lies prostrate.
Man (B)breathes his last, and where is he?
11 As (C)water [a]evaporates from the sea,
And a river becomes parched and dried up,
12 So (D)man lies down and does not rise.
Until the heavens are no longer,
[b]He will not awake nor be aroused out of [c]his sleep.
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.
