Job 3:13-19
New International Version
13 For now I would be lying down(A) in peace;
I would be asleep and at rest(B)
14 with kings and rulers of the earth,(C)
who built for themselves places now lying in ruins,(D)
15 with princes(E) who had gold,
who filled their houses with silver.(F)
16 Or why was I not hidden away in the ground like a stillborn child,(G)
like an infant who never saw the light of day?(H)
17 There the wicked cease from turmoil,(I)
and there the weary are at rest.(J)
18 Captives(K) also enjoy their ease;
they no longer hear the slave driver’s(L) shout.(M)
19 The small and the great are there,(N)
and the slaves are freed from their owners.

Job 14:10-15
New International Version
10 But a man dies and is laid low;(A)
he breathes his last and is no more.(B)
11 As the water of a lake dries up
or a riverbed becomes parched and dry,(C)
12 so he lies down and does not rise;(D)
till the heavens are no more,(E) people will not awake
or be roused from their sleep.(F)
13 “If only you would hide me in the grave(G)
and conceal me till your anger has passed!(H)
If only you would set me a time
and then remember(I) me!(J)
14 If someone dies, will they live again?
All the days of my hard service(K)
I will wait for my renewal[a](L) to come.
15 You will call and I will answer you;(M)
you will long for the creature your hands have made.(N)
