Job 17:14-16

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁴ I will say to the grave,
    “You are my father.”
I will say to the worms that eat me,
    “Hello, my mother. Hello, my sister.”
¹⁵ I can hope for nothing that is better than that.
    No one can find anything better for me.
¹⁶ When I go to the world of dead people,
    all my hope will have finished.
Everything that I had hoped for will lie with me in the dust.’
