Job 14:8 in Context — Job 14
6 Détourne de lui les regards, et donne-lui du relâche, Pour qu’il ait au moins la joie du mercenaire à la fin de sa journée.
7 Un arbre a de l’espérance: Quand on le coupe, il repousse, Il produit encore des rejetons;
8 Quand sa racine a vieilli dans la terre, Quand son tronc meurt dans la poussière,
9 Il reverdit à l’approche de l’eau, Il pousse des branches comme une jeune plante.
10 Mais l’homme meurt, et il perd sa force; L’homme expire, et où est-il?
