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? All the days of my warfare I will wait till the coming of my change.

Wait for Jehovah: be strong, and thy heart shall be strengthened: and wait for Jehovah.

Good Jehovah to those waiting for him, to the soul that will seek him.

My spirit being destroyed my days were extinct; the graves are for me.

Before I shall go and turn back to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;

For I knew thou wilt turn me back to death, and the house appointed to all living.

If I shall ascend to the heavens, thou art there: and shall I bend down to hades, behold thee.

He shall come into peace: they shall rest upon their beds, he went in his justice.

And I turned about to let my heart despair for all the labor I labored under the sun.

I said in the quiet of my days, I shall go to the gates of hades: I was missed the remainder of my years.
