Job 14:13-17

The Voice

¹³     O that You would merely hide me in the land of the dead
        and keep me in secret till Your wrath is gone,
        until a time You decide when You might think upon me.
¹⁴     If one dies, can he live again?
        Through these days of toil and struggle,
        I will patiently wait until my situation changes.
¹⁵     You will call out, and I will answer You then;
        and You will long for me,
        the work of Your hands, again.
¹⁶     For then You would still count each of my steps
        but not focus on my faults.
¹⁷     My sins would be sealed up as in a bag,
        and my crimes You would carefully cover up.
