Job 14:11

11 Like rivers that stop running, and lakes that go dry,

Job 14:11 In-Context

9 with water it will sprout like a young plant.
10 But we die, and that is the end of us; we die, and where are we then?
11 Like rivers that stop running, and lakes that go dry,
12 people die, never to rise. They will never wake up while the sky endures; they will never stir from their sleep.
13 I wish you would hide me in the world of the dead; let me be hidden until your anger is over, and then set a time to remember me.
