21 Before I go, and return not, Unto a land of darkness and death-shade,
and now, he hath died, why `is' this -- I fast? am I able to bring him back again? I am going unto him, and he doth not turn back unto me.'
Let darkness and death-shade redeem it, Let a cloud tabernacle upon it, Let them terrify it as the most bitter of days.
Also -- when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I fear no evil, for Thou `art' with me, Thy rod and Thy staff -- they comfort me.
The eye of my beholder beholdeth me not. Thine eyes `are' upon me -- and I am not. Consumed hath been a cloud, and it goeth, So he who is going down to Sheol cometh not up. He turneth not again to his house, Nor doth his place discern him again.
And a man dieth, and becometh weak, And man expireth, and where `is' he? Waters have gone away from a sea, And a river becometh waste and dry. And man hath lain down, and riseth not, Till the wearing out of the heavens they awake not, Nor are roused from their sleep. O that in Sheol Thou wouldst conceal me, Hide me till the turning of Thine anger, Set for me a limit, and remember me. If a man dieth -- doth he revive? All days of my warfare I wait, till my change come.
for we do surely die, and `are' as water which is running down to the earth, which is not gathered, and God doth not accept a person, and hath devised devices in that the outcast is not outcast by Him.
For now, I have lain down, and am quiet, I have slept -- then there is rest to me,
Is Thy kindness recounted in the grave? Thy faithfulness in destruction? Are Thy wonders known in the darkness? And Thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
I said, I do not see Jah -- Jah! In the land of the living, I do not behold man any more, With the inhabitants of the world.
