Job 17:12-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 17
12They make night into day, saying, ‘The light is near,’ in the presence of darkness. 13If I hope for Sheol as my home, I make my bed in the darkness; 14 If I call to the grave, ‘You are my father’; To the maggot, ‘my mother and my sister’; 15Where then is my hope? And who looks at my hope? 16 Will it go down with me to Sheol? Shall we together go down into the dust?'King James Version
Chapter 17
12They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness. 13If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness. 14I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister. 15And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it? 16They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 17
12They turned night into day and made light seem near in the face of darkness. 13If I await Sheol as my home, spread out my bed in darkness, 14and say to corruption, "You are my father," and to the maggot, "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, or will we descend together to the dust?New Living Translation
Chapter 17
12These men say that night is day; they claim that the darkness is light. 13What if I go to the grave and make my bed in darkness? 14What if I call the grave my father, and the maggot my mother or my sister? 15Where then is my hope? Can anyone find it? 16No, my hope will go down with me to the grave. We will rest together in the dust!'English Standard Version
Chapter 17
12They make night into day: ‘The light,’ they say, ‘is near to the darkness.’ 13If I hope for Sheol as my house, if I make my bed in darkness, 14if I say to the pit, ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ or ‘My sister,’ 15where then is my hope? Who will see my hope? 16Will it go down to the bars of Sheol? Shall we descend together into the dust?”New International Version
Chapter 17
12turn night into day; in the face of the darkness light is near. 13If the only home I hope for is the grave, if I spread out my bed in the realm of darkness, 14if I 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 death? Will we descend together into the dust?'New King James Version
