"If I should wait, the underworld is my house, and in darkness I have spread out my bed."
— Job 17:13, Catholic Public Domain Version
“If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.”
“If I look for Sheol as my house; If I have spread my couch in the darkness; ”
“If I look for Sheol as my house, if I have spread my couch in the darkness,”
“If I hope for the grave to be my home, if I spread out my bed in darkness,”
“If I wait hell is my house, and I have made my bed in darkness.”
“If I am waiting for the underworld as my house, if I have made my bed in the dark;”
“If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.”
Therefore, be converted, all of you, and approach, for I do not find in you any wisdom.
My days have passed away; my thoughts have been scattered, tormenting my heart.
They have turned night into day, and I hope for light again after the darkness.
If I should wait, the underworld is my house, and in darkness I have spread out my bed.
I have said to decay and to worms: “You are my father, my mother, and my sister.”
Therefore, where is my expectation now, and who is it that considers my patience?
Everything of mine will descend into the deepest underworld; do you think that, in that place at least, there will be rest for me?
