International Children’s Bible

Job 17:13-16 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

13. It might be that the only home I hope for is where the dead are.I might spread out my bed in darkness.

14. I might say to the grave, ‘You are my father.’And I might say to the worm, ‘You are my mother’ or ‘You are my sister.’

15. If these things are true, I have no hope.No one can see any hope for me.

16. Hope will go down to the gates of death.We will go down together into the dust.”
