Job 14:8 in context

  1. 6Look away from him, that he may rest, Till he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day.
  2. 7For there is hope of a tree, If it be cut down, that it will sprout again, And that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
  3. 8Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, And the stock thereof die in the ground;
  4. 9Yet through the scent of water it will bud, And put forth boughs like a plant.
  5. 10But man dieth, and is laid low: Yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
