You see me now, but never again. If you look for me, I'll be gone.

(SEE 7:9)

But we die, and that is the end of us; we die, and where are we then?

people die, never to rise. They will never wake up while the sky endures; they will never stir from their sleep.

If a man dies, can he come back to life? But I will wait for better times, wait till this time of trouble is ended.

But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Could I bring the child back to life? I will some day go to where he is, but he can never come back to me."

We will all die; we are like water spilled on the ground, which can't be gathered again. Even God does not bring the dead back to life, but the king can at least find a way to bring a man back from exile.

Make it a day of gloom and thick darkness; cover it with clouds, and blot out the sun.

Even if I go through the deepest darkness, I will not be afraid, LORD, for you are with me. Your shepherd's rod and staff protect me.

They did not care about me, even though I rescued them from Egypt and led them through the wilderness: a land of deserts and sand pits, a dry and dangerous land where no one lives and no one will even travel.
