9 Yet the righteous person will hold to his way,and the one whose hands are clean will grow stronger.
10 But come back and try again, all of you. I will not find a wise man among you.
11 My days have slipped by;my plans have been ruined,even the things dear to my heart.
12 They turned night into dayand made light seem near in the face of darkness.
13 If I await Sheol as my home,spread out my bed in darkness,
14 and say to corruption: You are my father,and to the maggot: My mother or my sister,
15 where then is my hope? Who can see any hope for me?
