Context of Job 14:13
11Asthe waters fail from the sea, And the river wasteth and drieth up; 12So man lieth down and riseth not: Till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, Nor be roused out of their sleep. Oh that thou wouldest hide me in Sheol, That thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, That thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! 14If a man die, shall he liveagain? All the days of my warfare would I wait, Till my release should come. 15Thou wouldest call, and I would answer thee: Thou wouldest have a desire to the work of thy hands.

But when man is cut off by death, he is for ever removed from his place in this world. The life of man may fitly be compared to the waters of a land flood, which spread far, but soon dry up.
