As waters fail from a lake, and a river wastes away and dries up,
As the waters fail from the sea, And the flood decayeth and drieth up:
As waters evaporate from the lake, and the river drains and dries up,
As the waters fail from the sea, And the river wasteth and drieth up;
Water vanishes from the sea; a river dries up completely.
It is as if the waters had receded from the sea and an emptied river had dried up;
As if the waters should depart out of the sea, and an emptied river should be dried up:
so man lies down and rises not again; till the heavens are no more he will not awake, or be roused out of his sleep.
And the waters of the Nile will be dried up, and the river will be parched and dry;
Why is my pain unceasing, my wound incurable, refusing to be healed? Wilt thou be to me like a deceitful brook, like waters that fail?
