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

Job 17:10-16
New International Version
10 “But come on, all of you, try again!
I will not find a wise man among you.(A)
11 My days have passed,(B) my plans are shattered.
Yet the desires of my heart(C)
12 turn night into day;(D)
in the face of the darkness light is near.(E)
13 If the only home I hope for is the grave,(F)
if I spread out my bed(G) in the realm of darkness,(H)
14 if I say to corruption,(I) ‘You are my father,’
and to the worm,(J) ‘My mother’ or ‘My sister,’
15 where then is my hope—(K)
who can see any hope for me?(L)
16 Will it go down to the gates of death?(M)
Will we descend together into the dust?”(N)
