As the waters fail from the sea, and the river decays and dries up:
So man lies down, and rises not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up.
Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed? will you be altogether unto me as a deceitful brook, and as waters that fail?
