10 But ·we [L mortals] die, and ·our bodies are laid in the ground [L dwindle away];
    ·we take our last breath [L humans expire] and are ·gone [L no more; C unlike trees, humans do not come back to life].
11 Water disappears from a ·lake [sea],
    and a river ·loses its water and dries up [L dries up and withers away].
12 In the same way, ·we [L humans] lie down and do not rise again;
    ·we [L they] will not get up or be awakened
    until the heavens disappear [C that is, never].
