Job 14:10-14

10 But man dies and [a]is laid away;
Indeed he [b]breathes his last
And where is (A)he?
11 As water disappears from the sea,
And a river becomes parched and dries up,
12 So man lies down and does not rise.
(B)Till the heavens are no more,
They will not awake
Nor be roused from their sleep.
13 “Oh, that You would hide me in the grave,
That You would conceal me until Your wrath is past,
That You would appoint me a set time, and remember me!
14 If a man dies, shall he live again?
All the days of my hard service (C)I will wait,
Till my change comes.
Job 7:8-10

8 (A)The eye of him who sees me will see me no more;
While your eyes are upon me, I shall no longer be.

So (B)he who goes down to the grave does not come up.
10 He shall never return to his house,
(C)Nor shall his place know him anymore.
Jeremiah 2:6
New King James Version
6 Neither did they say, ‘Where is the Lord,
Who (A)brought us up out of the land of Egypt,

Through a land of deserts and pits,
Through a land of drought and the shadow of death,
Through a land that no one crossed
And where no one dwelt?’
Isaiah 38:11
