Job 14:10-12

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁰ But a human dies and is powerless.
A person breathes his last breath, and where is he?
¹¹ ⌞As⌟ water drains out of a lake,
or ⌞as⌟ a river dries up completely,
¹² so each person lies down
and does not rise until the heavens cease to exist.
He does not wake up.
He is not awakened from his sleep.
