Job 17:12-14
International Standard Version

12 They have transformed night into day—
    ‘The light,’ they say, ‘is about to become dark.’

13 “If my hope were that my house is the afterlife[a] itself,
    if I were to make my bed in darkness,
14 if I call out to the Pit,[b] ‘You’re my father!’
    or say to the worm,[c] ‘My mother!’ or ‘My sister!’
