Job 14:10-15

10But a human dies and is powerless. A person breathes his last breath, and where is he?

11⌞As⌟ water drains out of a lake, or ⌞as⌟ a river dries up completely,

12so each person lies down and does not rise until the heavens cease to exist. He does not wake up. He is not awakened from his sleep.

13I wish you would hide me in Sheol and keep me hidden there until your anger cools. Set a specific time for me when you will remember me.

14“If a person dies, will he go on living? I will wait for my relief to come as long as my hard labor continues.

15You will call, and I will answer you. You will long for the person your hands have made.
