Job 14:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷ If someone cuts down a tree,
    the tree may not die.
    New branches may grow from it.
⁸ Its roots in the ground may be old.
    The part of the tree that remains may be nearly dead.
⁹ But if only a little water comes near to it,
    it will start to grow again.
It will make new branches,
    like a young plant.
