Job 14:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ A tree hath hope: if it be cut, it groweth green again, and the boughs thereof sprout.

⁸ If its root be old in the earth, and its stock be dead in the dust:

⁹ At the scent of water, it shall spring, and bring forth leaves, as when it was first planted.
