King James Version (KJV)

Job 14:10

“But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where [is] he?”

Verse in context — Job 14

Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;

[Yet] through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.

But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where [is] he?

[As] the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:

So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens [be] no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.

A poetic exploration of suffering, faith, and God’s sovereignty.
