Bible verse
But a man dies and is laid low; he breathes his last, and where is he?
Job 14:10 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 14.
6 look away from him and let him rest, so he can enjoy his day as a hired hand.
7 For there is hope for a tree: If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its tender shoots will not fail.
8 If its roots grow old in the ground and its stump dies in the soil,
9 at the scent of water it will bud and put forth twigs like a sapling.
10 But a man dies and is laid low; he breathes his last, and where is he?
11 As water disappears from the sea and a river becomes parched and dry,
12 so a man lies down and does not rise. Until the heavens are no more, he will not be awakened or roused from sleep.
13 If only You would hide me in Sheol and conceal me until Your anger has passed! If only You would appoint a time for me and then remember me!
14 When a man dies, will he live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait, until my renewal comes.
