Job 14:14
Compare all
12 So man lies down and does not rise.
aTill the heavens are no more,
They will not awake
Nor be roused from their sleep. 
13 “Oh, that You would hide me in the grave,
That You would conceal me until Your wrath is past,
That You would appoint me a set time, and remember me!
14 If a man dies, shall he live again?
All the days of my hard service aI will wait,
Till my change comes. 
15 aYou shall call, and I will answer You;
You shall desire the work of Your hands. 
16 For now aYou number my steps,
But do not watch over my sin. 
17 aMy transgression is sealed up in a bag,
And You1 cover my iniquity. 
18 “But as a mountain falls and crumbles away,
And as a rock is moved from its place;
19 As water wears away stones,
And as torrents wash away the soil of the earth;
So You destroy the hope of man.

Job 14:14

If a man die, shall he live again? - The Chaldee translates, If a wicked man die, can he ever live again? or, he can never live again. The Syriac and Arabic thus: "If a man die, shall he revive? Yea, all the days of his youth he awaits till his old age come." The Septuagint: "If a man die, shall he live, having accomplished the days of his life? I will endure till I live again." Here is no doubt, but a strong persuasion, of the certainty of the general resurrection.

All the days of my appointed time - tsebai , "of my warfare;" see on Job 7:1 (note). Will I await till chaliphathi , my renovation, come. This word is used to denote the springing again of grass, Psalms 90:5, Psalms 90:6, after it had once withered, which is in itself a very expressive emblem of the resurrection.
