Exegesis
The final clause, ve-yonakto lo tekhdal {וְיֹנַקְתּוֹ לֹא תֶחְדָּל | wə-yōnaq-tô lōʾ teḥdāl} ‘and its shoot will not cease’, shifts to the tree’s continuing “offspring” as the subject (feminine), with negation fronting the durability of regrowth. English keeps the conditional sequence (cut down → sprout again → not cease) to preserve the proverb-like reasoning and the climactic emphasis on ongoing renewal.
Root and etymology
consonantschet–dalet–lamed
“cease”
In context — Job 14:7
For there is hope for a tree; if it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its shoot will not cease.
