Job 14:7-9

Expanded Bible

⁷ “If a tree is cut down,
    there is hope that it will grow again
    and will send out new ·branches [shoots].
⁸ Even if its roots grow old in the ground,
    and its stump dies in the ·dirt [dust],
⁹ at the ·smell [scent] of water it will bud
    and put out new ·shoots [boughs] like a plant.
