Oh that You had kept me in the grave, and had hidden me until Your wrath should cease, and You should set me a time in which You would remember me!

Then shall You call, and I will answer You: but do not reject the work of Your hands.

One shall die in his perfect strength, and wholly at ease and prosperous;

And another dies in bitterness of soul, not eating any good thing.

For I know that death will destroy me: for the earth is the house [appointed] for every mortal.

A ruler shall not fail from Judah, nor a prince from his loins, until there come the things stored up for him; and He is the expectation of nations.

and they shall spread them out to the sun, and the moon, and to all the stars, and to all the host of heaven, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and to which they have held, and which they have worshipped. They shall not be mourned for, neither shall they be buried; but they shall be for an example on the face of the earth,

whose winnowing shovel is in His hand, and He will thoroughly purge His threshing floor, and He will gather His wheat into the barn; but the chaff He will burn up with unquenchable fire."

"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, [you] who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often would I have gathered your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!

For when he shall seem to be established, then he shall utterly perish, and those that knew him shall say, Where is he?

The eye has looked upon him, but shall not [see him] again; and his place shall no longer perceive him.

Before your pots you can feel the white thorn, He shall swallow you up as living, as in His wrath.

How have they become desolate! Suddenly they have failed; they have perished because of their iniquity.

As the dream of one awakening, O Lord, in Your city You will despise their image.

But their adversaries shall clothe themselves with shame; and the habitation of the ungodly shall perish.

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 his exaltation has hurt many; but he has withered as mallows in the heat, or as an ear of corn falling off of itself from the stalk.
