Job 14:8-11 Modern English Version (MEV)

8. Though its root may grow old in the earth,and its stump may die in the ground,

9. yet at the scent of water it will budand bring forth boughs like a plant.

10. But man dies and wastes away;yes, man gives up his breath, and where is he?

11. As the waters disappear from the sea,and the flood shrivels and dries up,
