Job 17:13

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.

If death takes a man, will he come to life again? All the days of my trouble I would be waiting, till the time came for me to be free.

Let your hope be in the Lord: take heart and be strong; yes, let your hope be in the Lord.

The Lord is good to those who are waiting for him, to the soul which is looking for him.

My spirit is broken, my days are ended, the last resting-place is ready for me.

Before I go to the place from which I will not come back, to the land where all is dark and black,

For I am certain that you will send me back to death, and to the meeting-place ordered for all living.

If I go up to heaven, you are there: or if I make my bed in the underworld, you are there.

They are at rest in their last resting-places, every one going straight before him.

So my mind was turned to grief for all the trouble I had taken and all my wisdom under the sun.

I said, In the quiet of my days I am going down into the underworld: the rest of my years are being taken away from me.
