Job 14:13-17
World English Bible
13 “Oh that you would hide me in Sheol,[a]
that you would keep me secret until your wrath is past,
that you would appoint me a set time and remember me!
14 If a man dies, will he live again?
I would wait all the days of my warfare,
until my release should come.
15 You would call, and I would answer you.
You would have a desire for the work of your hands.
16 But now you count my steps.
Don’t you watch over my sin?
17 My disobedience is sealed up in a bag.
You fasten up my iniquity.

Job 14:13-17
International Standard Version
There is Life after Death
13 “Won’t you keep me safe in the afterlife?[a]
Conceal me until your anger subsides.
Set an appointment for me,
then remember me.
14 If a human being[b] dies, will he live again?
I will endure the entire time of my assigned service,
until I am changed.[c]
15 You’ll call and I’ll answer you;
you’ll long for your creatures that your hands have made.[d]
16 Then you’ll certainly count every step I took,
but you won’t keep an inventory of my sin.
17 My transgressions would be sealed up in a bag;
you would cover over my sins.
