American Standard Version
"Asthe waters fail from the sea, And the river wasteth and drieth up; "
— Job 14:11, American Standard Version
“As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:”
“As the waters fail from the sea, and the river wastes and dries up,”
“As water disappears from the sea, or a river drains away and dries up,”
“As if the waters should depart out of the sea, and an emptied river should be dried up;”
“The waters go from a pool, and a river becomes waste and dry;”
“As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:”
Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, And the stock thereof die in the ground;
Yet through the scent of water it will bud, And put forth boughs like a plant.
But man dieth, and is laid low: Yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
Asthe waters fail from the sea, And the river wasteth and drieth up;
So man lieth down and riseth not: Till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, Nor be roused out of their sleep.
Oh that thou wouldest hide me in Sheol, That thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, That thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!
If a man die, shall he liveagain? All the days of my warfare would I wait, Till my release should come.
