Job 14:11-14 New Century Version (NCV)

11. Water disappears from a lake,and a river loses its water and dries up.

12. In the same way, we lie down and do not rise again;we will not get up or be awakeneduntil the heavens disappear.

13. “I wish you would hide me in the grave;hide me until your anger is gone.I wish you would set a timeand then remember me!

14. Will the dead live again?All my days are a struggle;I will wait until my change comes.
