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 hope?As for my hope, who can see it?
16. Will they go down to the gates of Sheol?Shall we have rest together in the dust?”
