Job 17:11-16

¹¹My days have passed; my plans are broken off —

even the desires of my heart.

¹²They have turned night into day,

making light seem near in the face of darkness.

¹³If I look for Sheol as my home,

if I spread out my bed in darkness,

¹⁴and say to corruption, ‘You are my father,’

and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ or ‘My sister,’

¹⁵where then is my hope?

Who can see any hope for me?

¹⁶Will it go down to the gates of Sheol?

Will we go down together into the dust?”

— Job 17:11-16
