Job 14:11

Death and loss

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?

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!

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
