8 If its roots grow old in the earth, and its trunk passes into dust,
9 at the scent of water, it will sprout and bring forth leaves, as when it had first been planted.
10 Truly, when a man dies, and has been left unprotected, and has decayed, I ask you where is he?
11 It is as if the waters had receded from the sea and an emptied river had dried up;
12 just so, when a man is fallen asleep, he will not rise again, until the heavens are worn away; he will not awaken, nor rise from his sleep.
