13 If the only home I hope for is the grave,

if I spread out my bed in the realm of darkness,

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

13 What if I go to the grave

and make my bed in darkness?

13 If I wait for the grave as my house,

If I make my bed in the darkness,

13 If the only home I hope for is the grave,

if I spread out my bed in darkness,

13 If I look for Sheol as my house;

If I have spread my couch in the darkness;

13 If I wait, Sheol is my house; I spread my bed in the darkness:

13 If I look for the grave as my home 

and make my bed in the darkness, 

13 If I await Sheol as my home,

spread out my bed in darkness,

13 If I look for Sheol as my house,

if I spread my couch in darkness,

13 If I hope for Sheol as my house,

if I spread my couch in the darkness,

13 Suppose the only home I can hope for is a grave.

And suppose I make my bed in the darkness of death.

13 “If I look for Sheol as my home,

I make my bed in the darkness;
