Exegesis
The simile kaets {כָ֝עֵ֗ץ | kā·ʿēṣ} ‘like a tree’ intensifies finality: hope is not trimmed but pulled out as a whole, portraying thorough eradication rather than temporary setback. English retains the step-by-step progression and the climactic agricultural metaphor by keeping the sequential “and” structure and the closing comparison.
In context — Job 19:10
He breaks me down on every side, and I am gone; and He uproots my hope like a tree.
