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)
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.
