Job 14:7-9

Lexham English Bible

⁷ “Indeed, there is hope for a tree:
if it is cut down, then^[a] it will sprout again,
and its new shoots will not cease;
⁸ though its root grows old in the earth,
and its stump dies in the dust,
⁹ at^[b] the scent of water it will bud,
and it will put forth branches like a young plant.
