Water disappears from the sea, and a river dries up and is parched,
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:
and man shall lie down and not rise. Till the heavens are no more, they awake not, nor are aroused from their sleep.
And waters shall fail from the sea, and the river wasted and dried up.
Why is my pain without end and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed? Are You to me like a failing stream, as waters not steadfast?
