Job 17:10-16
Modern English Version
10 “But as for you all, return and come now,
for I cannot find one wise man among you.
11 My days are past, my purposes are broken off,
even the thoughts of my heart.
12 They change the night into day;
the light is short because of darkness.
13 If I wait, the grave is my house;
I have made my bed in the darkness.
14 I have said to the pit, ‘You are my father’;
to the worm, ‘You are my mother and my sister.’
15 Where now is my hope?
As for my hope, who will see it?
16 Will they go down to the gates of Sheol?
Will we descend together in the dust?”
Job 17:10-16
American Standard Version
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.
