13If the only home I hope for is the grave, if I spread out my bed in darkness,


In Context

10 "But come on, all of you, try again! I will not find a wise man among you.

11 My days have passed, my plans are shattered, and so are the desires of my heart.

12 These men turn night into day; in the face of darkness they say, 'Light is near.'

13 If the only home I hope for is the grave, if I spread out my bed in darkness,

14 if I say to corruption, 'You are my father,' and to the worm, 'My mother' or 'My sister,'

15 where then is my hope? Who can see any hope for me?
