Job 14:7–14

7  For there is hope of a tree,

If it be cut down, kkthat it will lsprout again,

And that the mtender branch thereof will not cease.

8  Though the root thereof wax old in the earth,

And the nstock thereof die in the ground;

9  Yet through the scent of water it will bud,

And bring forth oboughs like a plant.

10  pBut man dieth, and †wasteth away:

Yea, man giveth up the ghost, and qwhere is he?

11  As qqthe waters fail from the sea,

qqAnd the flood decayeth and drieth up:

12  So man lieth down, and riseth not:

rTill the heavens be no more, they shall not awake,

Nor be raised out of their sleep.

13  O that thou wouldest shide me in the grave,

That thou wouldest skeep me secret, tuntil thy wrath be past,

That thou wouldest appoint me ua set time, and remember me!

14  wIf a man die, shall he live again?

All the days of my xappointed time ywill I wait,

Till my zchange come.
