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 dieth -- doth he revive? All days of my warfare I wait, till my change come.

Look unto Jehovah -- be strong, And He doth strengthen thy heart, Yea, look unto Jehovah!

Good is Jehovah to those waiting for Him, To the soul that seeketh Him.

My spirit hath been destroyed, My days extinguished -- graves are for me.

Before I go, and return not, Unto a land of darkness and death-shade,

For I have known To death Thou dost bring me back, And to the house appointed for all living.

If I ascend the heavens -- there Thou art, And spread out a couch in Sheol, lo, Thee!

He entereth into peace, they rest on their beds, Each is going straightforward.

And I turned round to cause my heart to despair concerning all the labour that I laboured at under the sun.

I -- I said in the cutting off of my days, I go in to the gates of Sheol, I have numbered the remnant of mine years.
