Job 17:10-16
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
10 But you, come back now, all of you,
and I shall not find a sensible person among you.
11 My days are past; my plans are broken off,
the desires of my heart.(A)
12 They make night into day;
‘The light,’ they say, ‘is near to the darkness.’[a]
13 If I look for Sheol as my house,
if I spread my couch in darkness,(B)
14 if I say to the Pit, ‘You are my father,’
and to the worm, ‘My mother’ or ‘My sister,’(C)
15 where then is my hope?
Who will see my hope?(D)
16 Will it go down to the bars of Sheol?
Shall we descend together into the dust?”(E)

Job 17:10-16
International Standard Version
Job Prepares for Death
10 “Come here now, all of you,
and I won’t find a wise person among you.
11 My days are passed;
my plans have been shattered;
along with my heart’s desires.
12 They have transformed night into day—
‘The light,’ they say, ‘is about to become dark.’
13 “If my hope were that my house is the afterlife[a] itself,
if I were to make my bed in darkness,
14 if I call out to the Pit,[b] ‘You’re my father!’
or say to the worm,[c] ‘My mother!’ or ‘My sister!’
15 where would my hope be?
“And speaking of my hope, who would notice it?
16 Will it go down to the bars that lock the doors[d] of the afterlife?[e]
Will we descend together into the dust?”
