Job 14:8

⁶ look away from him and let him rest, so he can enjoy his day as a hired hand.

⁷ For there is hope for a tree: If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its tender shoots will not fail.

If its roots grow old in the ground and its stump dies in the soil,

⁹ at the scent of water it will bud and put forth twigs like a sapling.

¹⁰ But a man dies and is laid low; he breathes his last, and where is he?

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
