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

⁷ For there is hope of a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and that its tender branch will not cease. ⁸ Though its root shall become old in the earth, and its stock die in the ground; ⁹ Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant. ¹⁰ But man dieth, and wasteth away: yes, man yieldeth his breath, and where is he? ¹¹ As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up: ¹² So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens shall be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.

¹³ O that thou wouldst hide me in the grave, that thou wouldst keep me secret, until thy wrath is past, that thou wouldst appoint me a set time, and remember me!
