Job 14:10 — Meaning and Application

Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;

{Yet} through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.

But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where {is} he? {wasteth...: Heb. is weakened, or, cut off}

{As} the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:

So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens {be} no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
