As the waters fail from the sea, and the river wastes and dries up,
so man lies down and doesn't rise. Until the heavens are no more, they shall not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.
The waters will fail from the sea, and the river will be wasted and become dry.
Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed? will you indeed be to me as a deceitful [brook], as waters that fail?
