Job 4:21

Doth not their excellency [which is] in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.

Doth not their excellency {H3499} which is in them go away {H5265}? they die {H4191}, even without wisdom {H2451}.

Their cord within them is pulled up; then they die, without ever gaining wisdom.'

Are not their tent cords pulled up, so that they die without wisdom?’

Is not their tent-cord plucked up within them? They die, and that without wisdom.
