Job 14:14–17

14 If someone dies, will they live again?

All the days of my hard service

I will wait for my renewal to come.

15 You will call and I will answer you;

you will long for the creature your hands have made.

16 Surely then you will count my steps

but not keep track of my sin.

17 My offenses will be sealed up in a bag;

you will cover over my sin.

14 If a man dies, shall he live again?

All the days of my service I would wait,

till my renewal should come.

15 You would call, and I would answer you;

you would long for the work of your hands.

16 For then you would number my steps;

you would not keep watch over my sin;

17 my transgression would be sealed up in a bag,

and you would cover over my iniquity.

14 If a man die, shall he live again?

All the days of my appointed time will I wait,

Till my change come.

15 Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee:

Thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.

16 For now thou numberest my steps:

Dost thou not watch over my sin?

17 My transgression is sealed up in a bag,

And thou sewest up mine iniquity.

14 Can the dead live again?

If so, this would give me hope through all my years of struggle,

and I would eagerly await the release of death.

15 You would call and I would answer,

and you would yearn for me, your handiwork.

16 For then you would guard my steps,

instead of watching for my sins.

17 My sins would be sealed in a pouch,

and you would cover my guilt.

14 If a man dies, shall he live again?

All the days of my hard service I will wait,

Till my change comes.

15 You shall call, and I will answer You;

You shall desire the work of Your hands.

16 For now You number my steps,

But do not watch over my sin.

17 My transgression is sealed up in a bag,

And You cover my iniquity.

14 Will the dead live again?

All my days are a struggle;

I will wait until my change comes.

15 You will call, and I will answer you;

you will desire the creature your hands have made.

16 Then you will count my steps,

but you will not keep track of my sin.

17 My wrongs will be closed up in a bag,

and you will cover up my sin.

14 If a man die, shall he live again?

All the days of my warfare would I wait,

Till my release should come.

15 Thou wouldest call, and I would answer thee:

Thou wouldest have a desire to the work of thy hands.

16 But now thou numberest my steps:

Dost thou not watch over my sin?

17 My transgression is sealed up in a bag,

And thou fastenest up mine iniquity.

14 (If a man die, shall he live again?) all the days of my time of toil would I wait, till my change should come: 15 Thou wouldest call, and I would answer thee; thou wouldest have a desire after the work of thy hands.

16 For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin? 17 My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou heapest up mine iniquity.

14 “If a person dies, will he go on living? 

I will wait for my relief to come 

as long as my hard labor continues. 

15 You will call, and I will answer you. 

You will long for the person your hands have made. 

16 Though now you count my steps, 

you will not keep ⸤a record of⸥ my sins. 

17 My disobedience will be closed up in a bag, 

and you will cover over my sins. 

14 When a man dies, will he come back to life?

If so, I would wait all the days of my struggle

until my relief comes.

15 You would call, and I would answer You.

You would long for the work of Your hands.

16 For then You would count my steps

but would not take note of my sin.

17 My rebellion would be sealed up in a bag,

and You would cover over my iniquity.

14 If mortals die, will they live again?

All the days of my service I would wait

until my release should come.

15 You would call, and I would answer you;

you would long for the work of your hands.

16 For then you would not number my steps;

you would not keep watch over my sin;

17 my transgression would be sealed up in a bag,

and you would cover over my iniquity.

14 If a man dies, will he live again?

All the days of my compulsory service I will wait,

until the coming of my relief.

15 You would call, and I myself would answer you;

you would long for the work of your hand.

16 For then you would count my steps,

but you would not keep watch over my sin.

17 My transgression would be sealed in a bag,

and you would cover over my guilt.

14 If a man dies, will he live again?

All the days of my hard work

I will wait for the time when you give me new life.

15 You will call out to me, and I will answer you.

Your hands created me. So you will long for me.

16 Then you will count every step I take.

But you won’t keep track of my sin.

17 The wrong things I’ve done will be sealed up in a bag.

You will wipe out my sins by forgiving them.
