- 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?

- "My days are past, my plans are torn apart, Even the wishes of my heart.
 - "They make night into day, saying, 'The light is near,' in the presence of darkness.
 - "If I look for Sheol as my home, I make my bed in the darkness;
 - If I call to the pit, 'You are my father'; To the worm, 'my mother and my sister';
 - Where now is my hope? And who regards my hope?
