You change his appearance and send him away [from the presence of the living].

Job 14:14


“If a man dies, will he live again?
I will wait all the days of my struggle
Until my change and release will come.

Ecclesiastes 8:8


There is no man who has power and authority over the wind to restrain the wind,
Nor does he have authority over the day of death;
There is no discharge [from service] during time of war,
And evil will not rescue those who [actively seek to] practice it.

Lamentations 4:8


Their appearance is [now] blacker than soot [because of the prolonged famine];
They are not recognized in the streets;
Their skin clings to their bones;
It is withered, and it has become [dry] like wood.
