Journey Through the Bible

Job 17:13-16

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?”
