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.
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.
