13If the only home I hope for is the grave,
if I spread out my bed in darkness,
14if I say to the grave, ‘You are my father,’
and to the worm, ‘You are my mother’ or ‘You are my sister,’
15where, then, is my hope?
Who can see any hope for me?
16Will hope go down to the gates of death?
Will we go down together into the dust?”

ESVEnglish Standard Version
If I hope for Sheol as my house,
if I make my bed in darkness,
if I say to the pit, ‘You are my father,’
and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ or ‘My sister,’
where then is my hope?
Who will see my hope?
Will it go down to the bars of Sheol?
Shall we descend together into the dust?”

NIVNew International Version (2011)
If the only home I hope for is the grave,
if I spread out my bed in the realm of darkness,
if I say to corruption, ‘You are my father,’
and to the worm, ‘My mother’ or ‘My sister,’
where then is my hope—
who can see any hope for me?
Will it go down to the gates of death?
Will we descend together into the dust?”

If I await Sheol as my home,
spread out my bed in darkness,
and say to corruption, “You are my father,”
and to the maggot, “My mother” or “My sister,”
where then is my hope?
Who can see any hope for me?
Will it go down to the gates of Sheol,
or will we descend together to the dust?

NLTNew Living Translation
What if I go to the grave
and make my bed in darkness?
What if I call the grave my father,
and the maggot my mother or my sister?
Where then is my hope?
Can anyone find it?
No, my hope will go down with me to the grave.
We will rest together in the dust!”

If I hope for Sheol as my house,
if I spread my couch in the darkness,
if I call to the pit, ‘You are my father,’
to the maggot, ‘You are my mother or my sister,’
where then is my hope?
And who will see my hope?
Will they go down to the bars of Sheol?
Or shall we descend together into the dust?”

KJV 1900King James Version
If I wait, the grave is mine house:
I have made my bed in the darkness.
I have said to corruption, Thou art my father:
To the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.
And where is now my hope?
As for my hope, who shall see it?
They shall go down to the bars of the pit,
When our rest together is in the dust.
