"I have said to decay and to worms: “You are my father, my mother, and my sister.” "
— Job 17:14, Catholic Public Domain 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, Thou art my father; To the worm, Thou artmy 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 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?
