Job 14:14-19
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 14
14If a man dies, will he live again? All the days of my struggle I will wait Until my relief comes. 15You will call, and I will answer You; You will long for the work of Your hands. 16For now You number my steps, You do not observe my sin. 17My wrongdoing is sealed up in a bag, And You cover over my guilt. 18'But the falling mountain crumbles away, And the rock moves from its place; 19Water wears away stones, Its torrents wash away the dust of the earth; So You destroy a man’s hope.King James Version
Chapter 14
14If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. 15Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.
16For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?
17My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity.
18And surely the mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of his place.
19The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.

New Living Translation
Chapter 14
14Can 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. 15You would call and I would answer, and you would yearn for me, your handiwork. 16For then you would guard my steps, instead of watching for my sins. 17My sins would be sealed in a pouch, and you would cover my guilt.English Standard Version
Chapter 14
14If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my service I would wait, till my renewal should come. 15You would call, and I would answer you; you would long for the work of your hands. 16For then you would number my steps; you would not keep watch over my sin; 17my transgression would be sealed up in a bag, and you would cover over my iniquity. 18“But the mountain falls and crumbles away, and the rock is removed from its place; 19the waters wear away the stones; the torrents wash away the soil of the earth; so you destroy the hope of man.New International Version
