Job 14:14-22 - Will We Humans Live Again?
14
“If a man dies, will he live again?
I will wait all the days of my struggle
Until my change and release will come.
“[Then] You will call, and I will answer You;
You will long for [me] the work of Your hands.
“But now You number [each of] my steps;
You do not observe nor take note of my sin.
“My transgression is sealed up in a bag,
And You cover my wickedness [from Your view].
18
“But as a mountain, if it falls, crumbles into nothing,
And as the rock is moved from its place,
Water wears away the stones,
Its floods and torrents wash away the soil of the earth,
So You [O Lord] destroy the hope of man.
“You prevail forever against him and overpower him, and he passes on;
You change his appearance and send him away [from the presence of the living].
“His sons achieve honor, and he does not know it;
They become insignificant, and he is not aware of it.
“But his body [lamenting its decay] grieves in pain over it,
And his soul mourns over [the loss of] himself.”
