Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stock dies in the ground,

In context

6 Look away from him, that he may rest, until he accomplishes, as a hireling, his day.

7 “For there is hope for a tree if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, that the tender branch of it will not cease.

8 Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stock dies in the ground,

9 yet through the scent of water it will bud, and sprout boughs like a plant.

10 But man dies, and is laid low. Yes, man gives up the spirit, and where is he?
