Job 14:10

Read in context

Job 14:8–12 · Berean Standard Bible

8 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?

11 As water disappears from the sea and a river becomes parched and dry,

12 so a man lies down and does not rise. Until the heavens are no more, he will not be awakened or roused from sleep.
