Job 17:13

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

(If a man die, shall he live again?) all the days of my time of toil would I wait, till my change should come:

Wait for Jehovah; be strong and let thy heart take courage: yea, wait for Jehovah.

Jehovah is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.

My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are mine.

Before I go, and never to return, to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;

For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and into the house of assemblage for all living.

If I ascend up into the heavens thou art there; or if I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou art there;

He entereth into peace: they rest in their beds, each one that hath walked in his uprightness.

Then I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour wherewith I had laboured under the sun.

I said, In the meridian of my days I shall go to the gates of Sheol: I am deprived of the rest of my years.
