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
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)
