Job 14:13-17

Expanded Bible

¹³ “I wish you would hide me in ·the grave [^LSheol; ^Cthe grave or the underworld];
    ·hide [conceal] me until your anger is gone.
I wish you would set a ·time [limit]
    and then remember me!
¹⁴ Will the dead live again [^Cthe implied answer is no]?
    All my days are ·a struggle [^Lhard service];
    I will wait until my ·change [^Lrelease] comes.
¹⁵ You ·will call [^Lwould summon me], and I ·will [or would] answer you;
    you ·will [or would] desire the ·creature your hands have made [^Lwork of your hands].
¹⁶ ·Then [or Now] you ·will count [count] my steps [^Cmeaning God would focus negatively on Job’s sin],
    but you ·will [or would] not keep track of my sin [^Cin a hypothetical future].
¹⁷ My wrongs ·will [or would] be closed up in a bag,
    and you ·will [or would] cover up my sin.
