For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.

Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.

And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins.

For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.

For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.

Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.

Let his days be few; and let another take his office.

But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.

Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand, and hath done all these things, he shall not escape.
