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
New Living Translation
13 “I wish you would hide me in the grave[a]
and forget me there until your anger has passed.
But mark your calendar to think of me again!
14 Can 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.
15 You would call and I would answer,
and you would yearn for me, your handiwork.
16 For then you would guard my steps,
instead of watching for my sins.
17 My sins would be sealed in a pouch,
and you would cover my guilt.
