¹³ For now I ^(A)would have lain down and been quiet;
I would have slept then; it would have been rest to me,

¹⁰ But ^(A)man dies and lies prostrate.
Man ^(B)breathes his last, and where is he?
¹¹ As ^(C)water ^[a]evaporates from the sea,
And a river becomes parched and dried up,
¹² So ^(D)man lies down and does not rise.
Until the heavens are no longer,
^[b]He will not awake nor be aroused out of ^[c]his sleep.

¹³ “Oh that You would conceal me in Sheol,
That You would hide me ^(E)until Your anger returns to You,
That You would set a limit for me and remember me!
¹⁴ If a man dies, will he live again?
All the days of my labor I will wait
Until my change comes.
¹⁵ You will call, and I will answer You;
You will long for ^(F)the work of Your hands.
