Job 7:21

²Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

¹⁴if I sin, then you mark me. You will not acquit me from my iniquity.

²⁰Why do you forget us forever, and forsake us for so long a time? ²¹Turn us to yourself, LORD, and we will be turned. Renew our days as of old. ²²But you have utterly rejected us. You are very angry against us.

⁷and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

⁹If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

⁹Don’t be furious, LORD. Don’t remember iniquity forever. Look and see, we beg you, we are all your people.

⁹Remember, I beg you, that you have fashioned me as clay. Will you bring me into dust again?

¹⁴if I have said to corruption, ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ and ‘My sister,’

¹⁸Who is a God like you, who pardons iniquity, and passes over the disobedience of the remnant of his heritage? He doesn’t retain his anger forever, because he delights in loving kindness. ¹⁹He will again have compassion on us. He will tread our iniquities under foot. You will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

¹⁹Your dead shall live. Their dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth will cast out the departed spirits.
