“At least there is hope for a tree:
If it is cut down, it will sprout again,
and its new shoots will not fail.
8
Its roots may grow old in the ground
and its stump die in the soil,
9
yet at the scent of water it will bud
and put forth shoots like a plant.
10
But a man dies and is laid low;
he breathes his last and is no more.
11
As the water of a lake dries up
or a riverbed becomes parched and dry,
12
so he lies down and does not rise;
till the heavens are no more, people will not awake
or be roused from their sleep. (Job 14:7-12)
