Job 14:13-17

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.

15You would call and I would answer, and you would yearn for me, your handiwork.

16For then you would guard my steps, instead of watching for my sins.

17My sins would be sealed in a pouch, and you would cover my guilt.
