Job 14:6-16

6 Depart from him, that he may be quiet, and take pleasure in his life, as a hireling.
7 For there is hope for a tree, even if it should be cut down, it shall blossom again, and its branch shall not fail.
8 For though its root should grow old in the earth, and its stem die in the rock;
9 it will blossom from the scent of water, and will produce a crop, as one newly planted.
10 But a man that has died is utterly gone; and when a mortal has fallen, he is no more.
11 For the sea wastes in time, and a river fails and is dried up.
12 And man that has lain down shall certainly not rise again till the heaven be dissolved, and they shall not awake from their sleep.
13 For oh that thou hadst kept me in the grave, and hadst hidden me until thy wrath should cease, and thou shouldest set me a time in which thou wouldest remember me!
14 For if a man should die, shall he live , having accomplished the days of his life? I will wait till I exist again?
15 Then shalt thou call, and I will hearken to thee: but do not thou reject the work of thine hands.
16 But thou hast numbered my devices: and not one of my sins shall escape thee?
