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

⁷ "Indeed, there is hope for a tree: if it is cut down, then it will sprout again, and its new shoots will not cease; ⁸ though its root grows old in the earth, and its stump dies in the dust, ⁹ at the scent of water it will bud, and it will put forth branches like a young plant. ¹⁰ "But a man dies, and he dwindles away; thus a human being passes away, and where is he? ¹¹ [As] water disappears from a lake, and a river withers away and dries up, ¹² {so} a man lies down, and he does not arise. {Until the heavens are no more}, they will not awaken, and they will not be roused out of their sleep.

¹³ "{O that} you would conceal me in Sheol, [that] you would hide me {until your wrath is past}, [that] you would appoint a set time for me and remember me.
