Berean Standard Bible

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

If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.

If I look for Sheol as my house, if I have spread my couch in the darkness,

Sheol is the place of the dead.

Job 17:11–15 · Berean Standard Bible

11 My days have passed; my plans are broken off— even the desires of my heart.

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,’

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