10 But a man dies and is laid low;
    man breathes his last, and (A)where is he?
11 (B)As waters fail from a lake
    and a river wastes away and dries up,
12 so a man lies down and rises not again;
    till (C)the heavens are no more he will not awake
    or be (D)roused out of his sleep.
13 Oh that you would (E)hide me in (F)Sheol,
    that you would (G)conceal me (H)until your wrath be 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 (I)service I would (J)wait,
    till my renewal[a] should come.
15 You would (K)call, and I would answer you;
    you would long for the (L)work of your hands.
