Job 14:7-13 - When A Tree Is Chopped Down
7 Though there is - for a tree - hope, - if it should be cut down, that, again, it will grow, and, the tender branch thereof, will not cease; 8 If its root, should become old in the earth, and, in the dust, its stock should die: 9 Through the scent of water, it may break forth, and produce branches like a sapling, 10 Yet, man, dieth, and is prostrate, Yea the son of earth doth cease to breathe, and where is he? 11 Waters, have failed from, the sea, and, a river, may waste and dry up; 12 So, a man, hath lain down, and shall not arise, until there are no heavens, they shall not awake, nor be roused up out of their sleep.
13 Oh that, in hades, thou wouldst hide me! that thou wouldst keep me secret, until the turn of thine anger, that thou wouldst set for me a fixed time, and remember me:
