Job 14:8-12

“Though its roots grow old in the ground, And its stump dies in the dry soil,

At the scent of water it will flourish And produce sprigs like a plant.

“But a man dies and lies prostrate. A person passes away, and where is he?

“As water evaporates from the sea, And a river becomes parched and dried up,

So a man lies down and does not rise. Until the heavens no longer exist, He will not awake nor be woken from his sleep.
