'Stock' in the Bible

Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stock dies in the ground,

the stock which your right hand planted, the branch that you made strong for yourself.

If there is a tenth left in it, that also will in turn be consumed: as a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stock remains when they are felled; so the holy seed is its stock."

A shoot will come out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots will bear fruit.

They are planted scarcely. They are sown scarcely. Their stock has scarcely taken root in the ground. He merely blows on them, and they wither, and the whirlwind takes them away as stubble.

But they are together brutish and foolish: the instruction of idols! it is but a stock.
