Job 17:10-16
Legacy Standard Bible
10 But come again all of [a]you now,
For I (A)do not find a wise man among you.
11 My (B)days are past; my plans are torn apart,
Even the wishes of my heart.
12 They make night into day, saying,
‘The light is near,’ in the presence of darkness.
13 If I hope for (C)Sheol as my home,
I [b]make my bed in the darkness;
14 If I call to the (D)pit, ‘You are my father’;
To the (E)worm, ‘my mother and my sister’;
15 Where now is (F)my hope?
And who beholds my hope?
16 [c]Will it go down with me to Sheol?
Shall we together (G)go down into the dust?”
Job 17:10-16
English Standard Version
10 But you, (A)come on again, all of you,
and I shall not find a wise man among you.
11 My (B)days are past; my plans are broken off,
the desires of my heart.
12 They (C)make night into day:
‘The light,’ they say, ‘is near to the darkness.’[a]
13 If I hope for (D)Sheol as (E)my house,
if I make my bed in darkness,
14 if I say to the pit, ‘You are my father,’
and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ or ‘My sister,’
15 where then is my hope?
Who will see my hope?
16 Will it go down to the bars of (F)Sheol?
Shall we (G)descend together (H)into the dust?”[b]
