Job 14:8-10

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁸ Though its roots grow old in the earth and its stock dies in the ground,

⁹ Yet through the scent [and breathing] of water [the stump of the tree] will bud and bring forth boughs like a young plant.

¹⁰ But [the brave, strong] man must die and lie prostrate; yes, man breathes his last, and where is he?
