Job 14:7-12

ACV(i) 7 For there is hope of a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch of it will not cease. 8 Though the root of it grows old in the earth, and the trunk of it dies in the ground, 9 yet through the scent of water it will bud, and put forth boughs like a plant. 10 But man dies, and is laid low. Yea, man gives up the spirit, and where is he? 11 As the waters fail from the sea, and the river wastes away and dries up, 12 so man lies down and does not rise. Till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.
