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
21st Century King James Version
10 “But as for you all, do ye 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 mine house; I have made my bed in the darkness.
14 I have said to corruption, ‘Thou art my father’; to the worm, ‘Thou art my mother and my sister.’
15 And where is now my hope? As for my hope, who shall see it?
16 It shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.”
