Job 14:12-21

So man when he is fallen asleep shall not rise again; till the heavens be broken, he shall not awake, nor rise up out of his sleep. Who will grant me this, that thou mayest protect me in hell, and hide me till thy wrath pass, and appoint me a time when thou wilt remember me? Shall man that is dead, thinkest thou, live again? All the days in which I am now in warfare, I expect until my change come. Thou shalt call me, and I will answer thee: to the work of thy hands thou shalt reach out thy right hand. Thou indeed hast numbered my steps: but spare my sins. Thou hast sealed up my offences as it were in a bag, but hast cured my iniquity. A mountain falling cometh to nought: and a rock is removed out of its place. Waters wear away the stones: and with inundation the ground by little and little is washed away. So in like manner thou shalt destroy man. Thou hast strengthened him for a little while, that he may pass away for ever: thou shalt change his face, and shalt send him away. Whether his children come to honour or dishonour, he shall not understand.
