Job 14:10-14

10“But when people die, their strength is gone. They breathe their last, and then where are they?

11As water evaporates from a lake and a river disappears in drought,

12people are laid to rest and do not rise again. Until the heavens are no more, they will not wake up nor be roused from their sleep.

13“I wish you would hide me in the grave and forget me there until your anger has passed. But mark your calendar to think of me again!

14Can the dead live again? If so, this would give me hope through all my years of struggle, and I would eagerly await the release of death.
