Exegesis
The first clause, azlu-mayim {אָֽזְלוּ־מַ֭יִם | ʾāz-lû-mā-yim} ‘waters have gone away’ combined with the source marker minni-yam {מִנִּי-יָ֑ם | min-nî-yām} ‘from the sea,’ evokes an image of a boundless reservoir emptied.
In context — Job 14:11
Waters vanish from the sea , and a river dries up and withers .
