Job 17:10-16

10“But turn, all of you, and come now! I will not find a wise man among you.

11My days have passed, my plans are shattered, even the desires of my heart.

12These men change night into day; they say, ‘The light is near in the face of darkness.’

13If I hope for the grave to be my home, if I spread out my bed in darkness,

14If I cry to corruption, ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My Mother,’ or ‘My sister,’

15where then is my hope? And my hope, who sees it?

16Will it go down to the barred gates of death? Will we descend together into the dust?”
