19 Surely its life withers away,

and from the soil other plants grow.

19 Behold, this is the joy of his way,

and out of the soil others will spring.

19 Behold, this is the joy of his way,

And out of the earth shall others grow.

19 That’s the end of its life,

and others spring up from the earth to replace it.

19 “Behold, this is the joy of His way,

And out of the earth others will grow.

19 Now joy has gone away;

other plants grow up from the same dirt.

19 Behold, this is the joy of his way;

And out of the earth shall others spring.

19 Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the dust shall others grow.

19 That is its joy in this life, 

and others sprout from the same ground to ⸤take its place⸥. 

19 Surely this is the joy of his way of life;

yet others will sprout from the dust.

19 See, these are their happy ways,

and out of the earth still others will spring.

19 The life of that plant is sure to dry up.

But from the same soil other plants will grow.

19 “Behold, this is the joy of His way;

And out of the dust others will spring.
