Job 14:8

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

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

In context

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.

10 But a man dies and is laid low; he breathes his last, and where is he?
