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.

Yet he shall be brought to the grave, and watch shall be kept over his tomb.

For You will not leave My soul in hell; You will not allow Your Holy One to see corruption.

yea, he shall yet live forever; he shall never see corruption.

because You will not leave My soul in Hades, nor will You allow Your holy One to see corruption.

And that He raised Him up from the dead, no more to return to corruption, He spoke in this way: "I will give you the holy promises of David."

So also the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption;

and even after they corrupt my skin, yet this: in my flesh I shall see God,

The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be remembered no more; and injustice shall be broken like a tree.

Your pride is brought down to the grave, and the noise of your harps. The maggot is spread under you, and the worms cover you.

And I turned to cause my heart to despair over all the labor which I did under the sun.

I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave; I have numbered the rest of my years.
