7 For there is hope of a tree, If it is cut down, that it will sprout again, And that its tender branch will not cease.

8 Though its root waxes old in the earth, And its stock dies in the ground;

9 Yet through the scent of water it will bud, And put forth boughs like a plant.

10 But [noble] man dies, and is laid low: Yes, man gives up the ghost, and where is he?
