Job 14:7-9

Easy-to-Read Version

⁷ “There is always hope for a tree.
    If it is cut down, it can grow again.
    It will keep sending out new branches.
⁸ Its roots might grow old in the ground
    and its stump die in the dirt,
⁹ but with water, it will grow again.
    It will grow branches like a new plant.
