¹³ If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.

¹³ For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,

²¹ Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;

²² A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.

¹⁴ If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.

¹ My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.

²³ For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.

¹⁴ Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

⁸ If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

² He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.

²⁵ The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.

²⁶ It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
