New Living Translation (NLT)
Job 17
10 “As for all of you, come back with a better argument, though I still won’t find a wise man among you.
11 My days are over. My hopes have disappeared. My heart’s desires are broken.
12 These men say that night is day; they claim that the darkness is light.
13 What if I go to the grave and make my bed in darkness?
14 What if I call the grave my father, and the maggot my mother or my sister?
15 Where then is my hope? Can anyone find it?
16 No, my hope will go down with me to the grave. We will rest together in the dust!”
Job 18
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
2 “How long before you stop talking? Speak sense if you want us to answer!
3 Do you think we are mere animals? Do you think we are stupid?
4 You may tear out your hair in anger, but will that destroy the earth? Will it make the rocks tremble?
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
