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
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.
