Job 14:7-13 - When A Tree Is Chopped Down

⁷ For there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender shoots thereof will not cease. ⁸ Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stump dies in the ground; ⁹ Yet at the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth branches like a plant. ¹⁰ But man dies, and wastes away: yea, man expires, and where is he? ¹¹ As the waters fail from the sea, and the river decays and dries up: ¹² So man lies down, and rises not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.

¹³ O that you would hide me in the grave, that you would conceal me, until your wrath is past, that you would appoint me a set time, and remember me!
