Job 14:13
Verse 13 of 22. The 14th of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.
9yet through the scent of water it will bud, and sprout boughs like a plant.
10But man dies, and is laid low. Yes, man gives up the spirit, and where is he?
11As the waters fail from the sea, and the river wastes and dries up,
12so man lies down and doesn’t rise. Until the heavens are no more, they will not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.
13“Oh that you would hide me in Sheol, that you would keep me secret until your wrath is past, that you would appoint me a set time and remember me!
14If a man dies, will he live again? I would wait all the days of my warfare, until my release should come.
15You would call, and I would answer you. You would have a desire for the work of your hands.
16But now you count my steps. Don’t you watch over my sin?
17My disobedience is sealed up in a bag. You fasten up my iniquity.
