Job 17:14-16

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁴ I might say to the grave, ‘You are my father,’
    and to the worms, ‘my mother’ or ‘my sister.’
¹⁵ But you can’t really call that hope, can you?
    Does anyone see any hope for me?
¹⁶ Will hope go down with me to the place of death?
    Will we go down into the dirt together?”
