Job 17:10-16
10But come again all of 1you now, For I 2do not find a wise man among you.11My 3days are past, my plans are torn apart, The wishes of my heart.12They make night into day, saying, ‘The light is near,’ in the presence of darkness.13If I hope for 45Sheol as my home, I 6make my bed in the darkness;14If I call to the 7grave, ‘You are my father’; To the 8maggot, ‘my mother and my sister’;15Where then is 9my hope? And who looks at my hope?1610Will it go down with me to Sheol? Shall we together 11go down into the dust?”
