Job 17:13-16

13But if I look to Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) as my home, If I make my bed in the darkness,

14If I call out to the pit (grave), ‘You are my father’; And to the worm [that feeds on decay], ‘You are my mother and my sister [because I will soon be closest to you],’

15Where now is my hope? And who regards or considers or is even concerned about my hope?

16Will my hope go down with me to Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead)? Shall we go down together in the dust?”
