For there is hope even for a tree. If it is cut down, it will sprout again. And its twigs will continue to grow. If its root grows old in the ground and its stump dies in the soil, at the scent of water it will sprout. And it will produce branches like a new plant. If a man dies, can he live again? I will wait all the days of my compulsory service until my relief comes. You will call, and I will answer you. You will long for the work of your hands. - Job 14: 7-9, 14&15
