Job 14:8-12
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 14
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. 10But a man dies and lies prostrate. A person passes away, and where is he? 11 As water evaporates from the sea, And a river becomes parched and dried up, 12So a man lies down and does not rise. Until the heavens no longer exist, He will not awake nor be woken from his sleep.King James Version
Chapter 14
8Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground; 9Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant. 10But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he? 11As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up: 12So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 14
8If its roots grow old in the ground and its stump starts to die in the soil, 9the scent of water makes it thrive and produce twigs like a sapling. 10But a person dies and fades away; he breathes his last--where is he? 11As water disappears from a lake and a river becomes parched and dry,New Living Translation
Chapter 14
8Though its roots have grown old in the earth and its stump decays, 9at the scent of water it will bud and sprout again like a new seedling.
10'But when people die, their strength is gone. They breathe their last, and then where are they?
11As water evaporates from a lake and a river disappears in drought,
12people are laid to rest and do not rise again. Until the heavens are no more, they will not wake up nor be roused from their sleep.
English Standard Version
Chapter 14
8Though its root grow old in the earth, and its stump die in the soil, 9yet at the scent of water it will bud and put out branches like a young plant. 10But a man dies and is laid low; man breathes his last, and where is he? 11As waters fail from a lake and a river wastes away and dries up, 12so a man lies down and rises not again; till the heavens are no more he will not awake or be roused out of his sleep.New International Version
