Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
Aunque sus raíces envejezcan en la tierra, y su tronco muera en el suelo,
Incluso cuando una planta parece completamente muerta, sus raíces pueden seguir con vida bajo tierra.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Book of Job, set in the ancient Near East, Job is a righteous man enduring severe suffering and engaging in deep dialogues with his friends about the mysteries of human pain and God's justice. In Chapter 14, Job uses the metaphor of a tree to express his thoughts on life's fragility, suggesting that even if a tree's roots grow old and its stump dies, there might still be hope for renewal. This reflects the ancient cultural awareness of nature's cycles, which often symbolized themes of death and revival in biblical literature.
