10 But as for you all, come on now again;
[a]And I shall not find a wise man among you.
11 My days are past, my purposes are broken off,
Even the [b]thoughts of my heart.
12 They change the night into day:
The light, say they, is near [c]unto the darkness.
13 If I [d]look for Sheol as my house;
If I have spread my couch in the darkness;
14 If I have said to [e]corruption, Thou art my father;
To the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister;
15 Where then is my hope?
And as for my hope, who shall see it?
16 It shall go down to the bars of Sheol,
When once there is rest in the dust.
