Job 14:8 KJV
Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
Job 14:8, King James Version
In context
7 For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
8 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
9 Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
