Job 14:7 in context

  1. 5Seeing his days are determined,
    the number of his months is with you,
    and you have appointed his bounds that he can’t pass;
  2. 6Look away from him, that he may rest,
    until he accomplishes, as a hireling, his day.
  3. 7“For there is hope for a tree if it is cut down,
    that it will sprout again,
    that the tender branch of it will not cease.
  4. 8Though its root grows old in the earth,
    and its stock dies in the ground,
  5. 9yet through the scent of water it will bud,
    and sprout boughs like a plant.
