As water evaporates from the sea and a river drains away and dries up,
As the waters fail from the sea, And the flood decayeth and drieth up:
As waters evaporate from the lake, and the river drains and dries up,
As the waters fail from the sea, And the river wasteth and drieth up;
Water vanishes from the sea; a river dries up completely.
It is as if the waters had receded from the sea and an emptied river had dried up;
As if the waters should depart out of the sea, and an emptied river should be dried up:
so a person lies down and does not rise; until the heavens are no more, people will not awake, or be roused from their sleep.
The waters from the sea will dry up, and the river will be drained dry.
Why is my pain unending and my wound incurable, refusing to be healed? Will You be to me like a mirage of water that is undependable?
