and that its shoots will not cease.

Though its root grow old in the earth,
and its stump die in the soil,

Though its root grow old in the earth, and its stock die in the ground,
yet at the scent of water it will bud
and put out branches like a young plant.

As waters fail from a lake
and a river wastes away and dries up,
and a river wastes away and dries up,

till the heavens are no more he will not awake
or be roused out of his sleep.
till the heavens are no more he will not awake
or be roused out of his sleep.
So man lieth down, and riseth not again; till the heavens be no more, they do not awake, nor are raised out of their sleep.

and you would cover over my iniquity.
and you would cover over my iniquity.
My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou heapest up mine iniquity.
