Job 14:13-17

New Century Version

¹³ “I wish you would hide me in the grave;
    hide me until your anger is gone.
I wish you would set a time
    and then remember me!
¹⁴ Will the dead live again?
    All my days are a struggle;
    I will wait until my change comes.
¹⁵ You will call, and I will answer you;
    you will desire the creature your hands have made.
¹⁶ Then you will count my steps,
    but you will not keep track of my sin.
¹⁷ My wrongs will be closed up in a bag,
    and you will cover up my sin.
