But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 10 is found in chapter 14 of Job. Job compares human beings to a tree that can have hope of sprouting again, while a person seems to disappear without returning. He asks whether there is hope beyond death and imagines waiting until divine anger has passed. The language does not yet constitute a systematic doctrine of resurrection, but it opens one of the book’s great theological questions.

Aber der Mensch stirbt und ist dahin; er verscheidet, und wo ist er?
Mas el hombre morirá, y será cortado; Y perecerá el hombre, ¿y dónde estará él?
Pero el hombre muere y queda sin fuerzas; el ser humano expira, ¿y dónde está?
Mais l'homme meurt, et il perd sa force; L'homme expire, et où est-il?
Ma l’uomo muore, e si fiacca; E quando l’uomo è trapassato, ov’è egli?
Porém, morto o homem, é consumido; sim, rendendo o homem o espírito, então onde está ele?
但壯士一死就消逝了; 人一氣絕,他在何處呢?
