As waters fail from a lake and a river wastes away and dries up,
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? Truly, you are to me like a deceitful brook, like waters that fail.
so mortals lie down and do not rise again; until the heavens are no more, they will not awake or be roused out of their sleep.
