9 Yet the righteous will hold to his way,And he who has clean hands will be stronger and stronger.
10 “But please, come back again, all of you,For I shall not find one wise man among you.
11 My days are past,My purposes are broken off,Even the thoughts of my heart.
12 They change the night into day;‘The light is near,’ they say, in the face of darkness.
13 If I wait for the grave as my house,If I make my bed in the darkness,
14 If I say to corruption, ‘You are my father,’And to the worm, ‘You are my mother and my sister,’
15 Where then is my hope?As for my hope, who can see it?
