Job 14:10-12

New International Reader's Version

¹⁰ No man is like that. When he dies, he is buried in a grave.
    He takes his last breath. Then he is gone.
¹¹ Water dries up from lakes.
    Riverbeds become empty and dry.
¹² In the same way, people lie down and never get up.
    People won’t wake or rise from their sleep
    until the heavens are gone.
