Job 14:11 Context
9Yet through the sent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughes like a plant. 10But man dyeth, and wasteth away; yea, man giueth vp the ghost, and where is hee? 11As the waters faile from the sea, and the floud decayeth and dryeth vp: 12So man lyeth downe, and riseth not, till the heauens be no more, they shall not awake; nor bee raised out of their sleepe. 13O that thou wouldest hide mee in the graue, that thou wouldest keepe me secret, vntill thy wrath bee past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me.
