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
New King James Version
10 “But please, (A)come back again, [a]all of you,
For I shall not find one wise man among you.
11 (B)My days are past,
My purposes are broken off,
Even the [b]thoughts of my heart.
12 They change the night into day;
‘The light is near,’ they say, in the face of darkness.
13 If I wait for the grave as my house,
If I make my bed in the darkness,
14 If I say to corruption, ‘You are my father,’
And to the worm, ‘You are my mother and my sister,’
15 Where then is my (C)hope?
As for my hope, who can see it?
16 Will they go down (D)to the gates of [c]Sheol?
Shall we have (E)rest together in the dust?”
