Read in context

Job 17:10–14 · Berean Standard Bible

10 But come back and try again, all of you. For I will not find a wise man among you.

12 They have turned night into day, making light seem near in the face of darkness.

13 If I look for Sheol as my home, if I spread out my bed in darkness,

14 and say to corruption, ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ or ‘My sister,’
