Job 14:11

The English Standar Version

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

See the chapter Copy

so a man lies down and rises not again; till the heavens are no more he will not awake or be roused out of his sleep.

And the waters of the sea will be dried up, and the river will be dry and parched,

Why is my pain unceasing, my wound incurable, refusing to be healed? Will you be to me like a deceitful brook, like waters that fail?
