Job 14:13-17
English Standard Version
13 Oh that you would (A)hide me in (B)Sheol,
that you would (C)conceal me (D)until your wrath be past,
that you would appoint me a set time, and remember me!
14 If a man dies, shall he live again?
All the days of my (E)service I would (F)wait,
till my renewal[a] should come.
15 You would (G)call, and I would answer you;
you would long for the (H)work of your hands.
16 For then you would (I)number my steps;
you would not keep (J)watch over my sin;
17 my transgression would be (K)sealed up in a bag,
and you would cover over my iniquity.

Job 14:13-17
Common English Bible
Momentary hope
13 I wish you would hide me in the underworld,[a]
conceal me until your anger passes,
set a time for me, and remember me.
14 If people die, will they live again?
All the days of my service I would wait
until my restoration took place.
15 You would call, and I would answer you;
you would long for your handiwork.
16 Though you now number my steps,
you would not keep a record of my sin.
17 My rebellion is sealed in a bag;
you would cover my sin.
