Job 14:7

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

For there is hope for a tree: If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its tender shoots will not fail.

In context

5 Since his days are determined and the number of his months is with You, and since You have set limits that he cannot exceed,

6 look away from him and let him rest, so he can enjoy his day as a hired hand.

7 For there is hope for a tree: If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its tender shoots will not fail.

8 If its roots grow old in the ground and its stump dies in the soil,

9 at the scent of water it will bud and put forth twigs like a sapling.
