Job 17:13
Compare all
11 aMy days are past,
My purposes are broken off,
Even the1 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 ahope?
As for my hope, who can see it? 
16 Will they go down ato the gates of Sheol?
Shall we have brest together in the dust?”
