Job 14:12 — Meaning and Application

But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where {is} he? {wasteth...: Heb. is weakened, or, cut off}

{As} the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:

So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens {be} no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.

O 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!

If a man die, shall he live {again}? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
