Clarke's Commentary on the BibleFor there is hope of a tree - We must not, says Calmet, understand this of an old tree, the stem and roots of which are dried up and rotted: but there are some trees which grow from cuttings, and some which, though pulled out of the earth, and having had their roots dried and withered by long exposure to the sun and wind, will, on being replanted, take root and resume their verdure. There are also certain trees, the fibres of which are so solid, that if after several years they be steeped in water, they resume their vigor, the tubes dilate, and the blossoms or flowers which were attached to them expand; as I have often witnessed in what is called the rose of Jericho. There are few trees which will not send forth new shoots, when the stock is cut down level with the earth. Treasury of Scripture Knowledge that it will sprout Job 14:14 If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. Job 19:10 He has destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and my hope has he removed like a tree. Isaiah 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: Isaiah 27:6 He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit. Daniel 4:15,23-25 Nevertheless leave the stump of his roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field... Job 14:7 Parallel Commentaries
