Job 14:12

Job Continues To Argue His Case With God

¹¹
“As water evaporates from the sea,
And a river drains and dries up,
¹² 
So man lies down and does not rise [again].
Until the heavens are no longer,
The dead will not awake nor be raised from their sleep. ¹³
“Oh, that You would hide me in Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead),
That You would conceal me until Your wrath is past,
That You would set a definite time and then remember me [and in Your lovingkindness imprint me on your heart]!
