Job 14:7-9

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁷ “For there is hope for a tree,
When it is cut down, that it will sprout again,
And its shoots will not ^[a]fail.
⁸ “Though its roots grow old in the ground
And its stump dies in the dry soil,
⁹ At the scent of water it will flourish
And put forth sprigs like a plant.
