Job 17:10-16

10But you, my friends, come here! Try again to help me, all of you! I will not find a wise man among you.

11I will not live for many more days. I will never do the things that I wanted to do.

12My friends say, “It is day”, when it is still night. They do not know the difference between light and dark.

13The only home that I hope to go to is my grave. I will lie down to sleep there in the dark.

14I will say to the grave, “You are my father.” I will say to the worms that eat me, “Hello, my mother. Hello, my sister.”

15I can hope for nothing that is better than that. No one can find anything better for me.

16When I go to the world of dead people, all my hope will have finished. Everything that I had hoped for will lie with me in the dust.’
