Job 14:9

Context

14:9 at the scent 1  of water it will flourish 2 

and put forth 3  shoots like a new plant.

1 tn The personification adds to the comparison with people – the tree is credited with the sense of smell to detect the water.

2 tn The sense of “flourish” for this verb is found in Ps 92:12,13[13,14], and Prov 14:11. It makes an appropriate parallel with “bring forth boughs” in the second half.

3 tn Heb “and will make.”
