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 dies, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change comes.

Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeks him.

My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the grave is ready for me.

Before I go where I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;

For I know that you will bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.

If I ascend up into heaven, you are there: if I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there.

He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.

Therefore I gave my heart up to despair of all the labor in which I toiled under the sun.

I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the rest of my years.
