Job 14:7-12
New American Standard Bible
7 “For there is hope for a tree,
When it is cut down, that it will sprout again,
And its shoots will not [a]fail.
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 produce sprigs like a plant.
10 But (A)a man dies and lies prostrate.
A person (B)passes away, and where is he?
11 As (C)water [b]evaporates from the sea,
And a river becomes parched and dried up,
12 So (D)a man lies down and does not rise.
Until the heavens no longer exist,
[c]He will not awake nor be woken from [d]his sleep.
Job 14:7-12
Holman 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 smell of water makes it thrive
and produce twigs like a sapling.(A)
10 But a man dies and fades away;
he breathes his last—where is he?
11 As water disappears from the sea
and a river becomes parched and dry,
12 so man lies down never to rise again.
They will not wake up until the heavens are no more;(B)
they will not stir from their sleep.
