Exegesis
The existential yesh {יֵשׁ | yēš} ‘there is’ introduces a verbless clause whose focus is the existence of tiqvah {תִּקְוָה | tiqvâ} ‘hope’ for la'ets {לָעֵץ | lā-ʿēṣ} ‘for the tree’, using lamed to express advantage (“for the tree”).
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.
