Job 14:10–12

But a man dies and is laid low;

man breathes his last, and where is he?

As waters fail from a lake

and a river wastes away and dries up,

so a man lies down and rises not again;

till the heavens are no more he will not awake

or be roused out of his sleep.

But a man dies and is laid low;

he breathes his last and is no more.

As the water of a lake dries up

or a riverbed becomes parched and dry,

so he lies down and does not rise;

till the heavens are no more, people will not awake

or be roused from their sleep.

But a person dies and fades away;

he breathes his last—where is he?

As water disappears from a lake

and a river becomes parched and dry,

so people lie down never to rise again.

They will not wake up until the heavens are no more;

they will not stir from their sleep.

“But when people die, their strength is gone.

They breathe their last, and then where are they?

As water evaporates from a lake

and a river disappears in drought,

people are laid to rest and do not rise again.

Until the heavens are no more, they will not wake up

nor be roused from their sleep.

“But a man dies, and he dwindles away;

thus a human being passes away, and where is he?

As water disappears from a lake,

and a river withers away and dries up,

so a man lies down, and he does not arise.

Until the heavens are no more, they will not awaken,

and they will not be roused out of their sleep.

But man dieth, and wasteth away:

Yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?

As the waters fail from the sea,

And the flood decayeth and drieth up:

So man lieth down, and riseth not:

Till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake,

Nor be raised out of their sleep.
