New American Standard Bible
Chapter 14
6Look away from him so that he may rest, Until he fulfills his day like a hired worker. 7'For there is hope for a tree, When it is cut down, that it will sprout again, And its shoots will not fail. 8Though its roots grow old in the ground, And its stump dies in the dry soil, 9At the scent of water it will flourish And produce sprigs like a plant.King James Version

6So look away from him and let him alone, till he has put in his time like a hired laborer. 7At least there is hope for a tree: If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its new shoots will not fail. 8Its roots may grow old in the ground and its stump die in the soil, 9yet at the scent of water it will bud and put forth shoots like a plant.New King James Version
