Job 14:10-12

Job Continues: Death Comes Soon to All

10 But a man dies and is laid low;
man breathes his last, and z where is he?
11 a As waters fail from a lake
and a river wastes away and dries up,
12 so a man lies down and rises not again;
till b the heavens are no more he will not awake
or be c roused out of his sleep.
