Job 14:7-9

World English Bible

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.
