The eye of him that sees me shall not see me again: your eyes are upon me, and I am no more.

And he shall surely not return to his own house, neither shall his place know him any more.

But a man that has died is utterly gone, and when a mortal has fallen, he is no more.

And man that has lain down [in death] shall certainly not rise again till the heaven be dissolved, and they shall not awake from their sleep.

For if a man should die, shall he live again, having accomplished the days of his life? I will wait till I exist again.

But now it is dead, why should I fast thus? Shall I be able to bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.

For we shall surely die, and be as water poured upon the earth, which shall not be gathered up, and God shall take the life, even as He devises to thrust forth from Him His outcast.

I said, I shall no more see the salvation of God in the land of the living; I shall no more see the salvation of Israel on the earth; I shall no more see man.

But let darkness and the shadow of death seize it; let blackness come upon it.

They laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, and in the shadow of death.

Shall anyone declare Your mercy in the tomb? And Your truth in destruction?

Shall Your wonders be known in darkness? And Your righteousness in a forgotten land?

But let darkness and the shadow of death seize it; let blackness come upon it.

Yea, though I walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

And they said not, Where is the Lord, who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, who guided us in the wilderness, in an untried and trackless land, in a land in which no man has entered, and no man has dwelt in?
