King James Version
"I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister."
— Job 17:14, King James Version
“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 are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.
They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.
If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.
I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.
And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.
