14:7 “But there is hope for18 a tree:19
If it is cut down, it will sprout again,
and its new shoots will not fail.
14:8 Although its roots may grow old20 in the ground
and its stump begins to die21 in the soil,22
14:9 at the scent23 of water it will flourish24
and put forth25 shoots like a new plant.
14:10 But man26 dies and is powerless;27
he expires—and where is he?28
14:11 As29 water disappears from the sea,30
or a river drains away and dries up,
14:12 so man lies down and does not rise;
until the heavens are no more,31
they32 will not awake
nor arise from their sleep.
