“But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?”
"But man dies and is laid low; man breathes his last, and where is he?" The blunt contrast: unlike the tree, human death is final. No scent of water will resurrect the human. The verse confronts the irreversibility of human death with stark simplicity. Where is the dead human? Nowhere—not in restoration, not in renewal, not in any continued form.
