Job 14:11

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

As waters fail from a lake, and a river wastes away and dries up,

See the chapter Copy

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?

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.
