Job 17:14

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.

And he shall be led away to the graves, and shall watch over the tomb.

For thou wilt not leave my soul to hades; thou wilt not give thy merciful ones to see corruption.

And he shall yet live forever, he shall not see destruction.

For thou wilt not leave my soul in hades neither wilt thou give thy sanctified one to see corruption.

And that he raised him from the dead, no more about to return to corruption, so he said, That I will give you the holy, faithful things of David.

So also the rising up of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

And after they destroyed my skin, this, and from my flesh I shall see God:

The womb shall forget him; the worm sucked him; he shall be no more remembered: and iniquity shall be broken as a tree.

Thy grandeur was brought down to hades, the sound of thy harps: the worm was spread under thee, and worms covering thee.

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.
