"Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;"
— Job 14:8, King James Version
“Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, And the stock thereof die in the ground; ”
“Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stock dies in the ground,”

“If its roots be old in the earth, and its stock be dead in the dust:”

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

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.
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.
