Job 14:13-17
Holman Christian Standard Bible
13 If only You would hide me in Sheol(A)
and conceal me until Your anger(B) passes.
If only You would appoint a time for me
and then remember me.
14 When a man dies, will he come back to life?
If so, I would wait(C) all the days of my struggle(D)
until my relief comes.
15 You would call, and I would answer You.
You would long for the work of Your hands.(E)
16 For then You would count my steps(F)
but would not take note(G) of my sin.
17 My rebellion would be 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.
