Job 17:13-15

New International Reader's Version

¹³ Suppose the only home I can hope for is a grave.
    And suppose I make my bed in the darkness of death.
¹⁴ Suppose I say to the grave,
    ‘You are like a father to me.’
And suppose I say to its worms,
    ‘You are like a mother or sister to me.’
¹⁵ Then what hope do I have?
    Who can give me any hope?
