8 Those who claim to be honest are shocked,and they all condemn me as godless.
9 Those who claim to be respectableare more and more convinced they are right.
10 But if all of them came and stood before me,I would not find even one of them wise.
11 My days have passed; my plans have failed;my hope is gone.
12 But my friends say night is daylight;they say that light is near,but I know I remain in darkness.
13 My only hope is the world of the dead,where I will lie down to sleep in the dark.
14 I will call the grave my father,and the worms that eat meI will call my mother and my sisters.
