14 if I say to the pit, ‘You are my father,’

and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ or ‘My sister,’

14 I have said to corruption, Thou art my father:

To the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.

14 What if I call the grave my father,

and the maggot my mother or my sister?

14 If I say to corruption, ‘You are my father,’

And to the worm, ‘You are my mother and my sister,’

14 if I say to the grave, ‘You are my father,’

and to the worm, ‘You are my mother’ or ‘You are my sister,’

14 If I have said to corruption, Thou art my father;

To the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister;

14 I cry to the grave, Thou art my father! to the worm, My mother, and my sister!

14 if I say to the pit, ‘You are my father,’ 

and to the worm, ‘You are my mother and sister,’ 

14 and say to corruption: You are my father,

and to the maggot: My mother or my sister,

14 if I say to the Pit, ‘You are my father,’

and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ or ‘My sister,’

14 if I call to the pit, ‘You are my father,’

to the maggot, ‘You are my mother or my sister,’

14 Suppose I say to the grave,

‘You are like a father to me.’

And suppose I say to its worms,

‘You are like a mother or sister to me.’

14 If I call to the pit, ‘You are my father’;

To the worm, ‘my mother and my sister’;
