10But comeH935 againH7725 allH3605 of 1you nowH4994, For I 2do not findH4672 a wiseH2450 manH2450 among you.11My 3daysH3117 areH5674 pastH5674, my plansH2154 are tornH5423 apartH5423, The wishesH4180 of my heartH3824.12They makeH7760 nightH3915 into dayH3117, saying, ‘The lightH216 is nearH7138,’ in the presenceH6440 of darknessH2822.13IfH518 I hopeH6960 for 45SheolH7585 as my homeH1004, I 6makeH7502 my bedH3326 in the darknessH2822;14If I callH7121 to the 7graveH7845, ‘You are my fatherH1’; To the 8maggotH7415, ‘my motherH517 and my sisterH269’;15WhereH346 thenH645 is 9my hopeH8615? And whoH4310 looksH7789 atH7789 my hopeH8615?1610Will it goH3381 downH3381 with me to SheolH7585? Shall we togetherH3162 11goH5181 downH5181 into the dustH6083?”
