9. Yet at the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth branches like a plant.
10. But man dies, and wastes away: yea, man expires, and where is he?
11. As the waters fail from the sea, and the river decays and dries up:
12. So man lies down, and rises not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
13. O 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 appointed time will I wait, till my change comes.
15. You shall call, and I will answer you: you will have a desire to the work of your hands.
16. For now you number my steps: do not watch over my sin.
17. My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and you sew up my iniquity.
18. And surely the mountain falling, comes to nothing, and the rock is removed out of its place.
