Job 14:13-17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
13 Oh, that you would hide me in Sheol,
shelter me till your wrath is past,
fix a time to remember me!
14 If a man were to die, and live again,
all the days of my drudgery I would wait(A)
for my relief to come.
15 You would call, and I would answer you;
you would long for the work of your hands.
16 Surely then you would count my steps,(B)
and not keep watch for sin in me.
17 My misdeeds would be sealed up in a pouch,[a]
and you would cover over my guilt.
