World English Bible
"If I have said to corruption, 'You are my father;' to the worm, 'My mother,' and 'my sister;'"
— Job 17:14, World English Bible
“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 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 plans are broken off, as are the thoughts of my heart.
They change the night into day, saying 'The light is near' in the presence of darkness.
If I look for Sheol as my house, if I have spread my couch in the darkness,
If I have said to corruption, 'You are my father;' to the worm, 'My mother,' and 'my sister;'
where then is my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
Shall it go down with me to the gates of Sheol, or descend together into the dust?"
