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
Lexham English Bible
10 But[a] all of you must return[b]—please come![c]
But[d] I shall not find a wise person among you.
11 “My days are past; my plans are broken down—
even the desires of my heart.
12 They make night into day,
saying, ‘Light is near to darkness.’[e]
13 If I hope for Sheol as my house,
if I spread my couch in the darkness,
14 if I call to the pit, ‘You are my father,’
to the maggot, ‘You are my mother or[f] my sister,’
15 where[g] then is my hope?
And who will see my hope?[h]
16 Will they go down to the bars of Sheol?
Or shall we descend together into the dust?”
