Job 17:10-16 (Listen)

10 But you, tcome on again, all of you,

and I shall not find a wise man among you.

11 My udays are past; my plans are broken off,

the desires of my heart.

12 They vmake night into day:

‘The light,’ they say, ‘is near to the darkness.’1

13 If I hope for wSheol as xmy house,

if I make my bed in darkness,

14 if I say to the pit, ‘You are my father,’

and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ or ‘My sister,’

15 where then is my hope?

Who will see my hope?

16 Will it go down to the bars of wSheol?

Shall we ydescend together zinto the dust?”
