Job 17:10-16
World English Bible
10 But as for you all, come back.
I will not find a wise man among you.
11 My days are past.
My plans are broken off,
as are the thoughts of my heart.
12 They change the night into day,
saying ‘The light is near’ in the presence of darkness.
13 If I look for Sheol[a] as my house,
if I have spread my couch in the darkness,
14 if I have said to corruption, ‘You are my father;’
to the worm, ‘My mother,’ and ‘My sister,’
15 where then is my hope?
As for my hope, who will see it?
16 Shall it go down with me to the gates of Sheol,[b]
or descend together into the dust?”
Job 17:10-16

if I spread my couch in darkness,(B)

Who will see my hope?(D)

Shall we descend together into the dust?”(E)
