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
Job is using the metaphor of a tree to contrast the hope that exists in nature with the apparent hopelessness of human death. In ancient times, people were very familiar with how trees could appear dead during winter or drought but still have life in their roots. This verse is part of Job's larger meditation on mortality and whether humans have any hope of renewal after death, unlike trees which can sprout again from their roots.
