Job 14:7-12
English Standard Version
7 “For there is hope for a tree,
if it be cut down, that it will sprout again,
and that its shoots will not cease.
8 Though its root grow old in the earth,
and (A)its stump die in the soil,
9 yet at the scent of water it will bud
and put out (B)branches like a young plant.
10 But a man dies and is laid low;
man breathes his last, and (C)where is he?
11 (D)As waters fail from a lake
and a river wastes away and dries up,
12 so a man lies down and rises not again;
till (E)the heavens are no more he will not awake
or be (F)roused out of his sleep.

Revised Standard Version
7 “For there is hope for a tree,
if it be cut down, that it will sprout again,
and that its shoots will not cease.
8 Though its root grow old in the earth,
and its stump die in the ground,
9 yet at the scent of water it will bud
and put forth branches like a young plant.
10 But man dies, and is laid low;
man breathes his last, and where is he?
11 As waters fail from a lake,
and a river wastes away and dries up,
12 so man lies down and rises not again;
till the heavens are no more he will not awake,
or be roused out of his sleep.
