American Standard Version
"If I have said to corruption, Thou art my father; To the worm, Thou artmy mother, and my sister; "
— Job 17:14, American Standard Version
“I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.”
“If I have said to corruption, 'You are my father;' to the worm, 'My mother,' and 'my sister;'”
“If I cry to corruption,‘You are my father,’ and to the worm,‘My mother,’ or‘My sister,’”
“I have said to rottenness: Thou art my father; to worms, my mother and my sister.”
“If I say to the earth, You are my father; and to the worm, My mother and my sister;”
“I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.”
My days are past, my purposes are broken off, Even the thoughts of my heart.
They change the night into day: The light, say they, is near unto the darkness.
If I look for Sheol as my house; If I have spread my couch in the darkness;
If I have said to corruption, Thou art my father; To the worm, Thou artmy mother, and my sister;
Where then is my hope? And as for my hope, who shall see it?
It shall go down to the bars of Sheol, When once there is rest in the dust.
