Job 17:11-16
11
My days have passed, my plans are shattered,
and so are the desires of my heart.
12
These men turn night into day;
in the face of darkness they say, ‘Light is near.’
13
If the only home I hope for is the grave,
if I spread out my bed in darkness,
14
if I say to corruption, ‘You are my father,’
and to the worm, ‘My mother’ or ‘My sister,’
15
where then is my hope?
Who can see any hope for me?
16
Will it go down to the gates of death?
Will we descend together into the dust?”
