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 warfare would I wait, until my release should come.

Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh. By David.

Yahweh is good to those who wait for him, to the soul that seeks him.

"My spirit is consumed. My days are extinct, And the grave is ready for me.

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

For I know that you will bring me to death, 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 enters into peace; they rest in their beds, each one who walks in his uprightness.

Therefore I began to cause my heart to despair concerning all the labor in which I had labored under the sun.

I said, "In the middle of my life I go into the gates of Sheol. I am deprived of the residue of my years."
