Job 14:14-22 - Will We Humans Live Again?

14 If a man dies, will he live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait until my release comes. 15 You will call and I -- I will answer you; you will long for the creature you have made. 16 "Surely now you count my steps; then you would not mark my sin. 17 My offenses would be sealed up in a bag; you would cover over my sin.

18 But as a mountain falls away and crumbles, and as a rock will be removed from its place, 19 as water wears away stones, and torrents wash away the soil, so you destroy man's hope. 20 You overpower him once for all, and he departs; you change his appearance and send him away. 21 If his sons are honored, he does not know it; if they are brought low, he does not see it. 22 Only his flesh has pain for himself, and he mourns for himself."
