There is Life after Death

13 “Won’t you keep me safe in the afterlife?[a]
    Conceal me until your anger subsides.
Set an appointment for me,
    then remember me.
14 If a human being[b] dies, will he live again?
    I will endure the entire time of my assigned service,
        until I am changed.[c]
15 You’ll call and I’ll answer you;
    you’ll long for your creatures that your hands have made.[d]
