10But a man that has died is utterly gone; and when a mortal has fallen, he is no more.
10But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
11For the sea wastes in [length of] time, and a river fails and is dried up.
11As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:
12And man that has lain down [in death] shall certainly not rise again till the heaven be dissolved, and they shall not awake from their sleep.
12So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
13For oh that thou hadst kept me in the grave, and hadst hidden me until thy wrath should cease, and thou shouldest set me a time in which thou wouldest remember me!
13O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!
14For if a man should die, shall he live [again], having accomplished the days of his life? I will waittill I exist again?
14If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
15Then shalt thou call, and I will hearken to thee: but do not thou reject the work of thine hands.
15Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.
16But thou hast numbered my devices: and not one of my sins shall escape thee?
16For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?
17And thou hast sealed up my transgressions in a bag, and marked if I have been guilty of any transgression unawares.
17My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity.
18And verily a mountain falling will utterly be destroyed, and a rock shall be worn out of its place.
18And surely the mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of his place.
19The waters wear the stones, and waters falling headlong [overflow] a heap of the earth: and thou destroyest the hope of man.
19The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.
20Thou drivest him to an end, and he is gone: thou settest thy face against him, and sendest him away;
20Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
21and though his children be multiplied, he knows [it] not; and if they be few, he is not aware.
21His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.
22But his flesh is in pain, and his soul mourns.
22But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.
