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

⁷ "If a tree be cut down, there is some hope yet, that it will sprout and shoot forth the branches again; ⁸ For though a root be waxen old and dead in the ground, ⁹ yet when the stock getteth the scent of water, it will bud, and bring forth bows, like as when it was first planted. ¹⁰ But as for man; when he is dead, perished and consumed away, what becometh of him? ¹¹ The floods when they be dried up, and the rivers when they be empty, are filled again through the flowing waters of the sea: ¹² but when man sleepeth, he riseth not again, until the heaven perish: he shall not wake up nor rise out of his sleep.

¹³ O that thou wouldest keep me, and hide me in the hell, until thy wrath were stilled: and to appoint me a time, wherein thou mightest remember me.
