12. They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.
13. If I wait, the grave is my house: I have made my bed in the darkness.
14. I have said to corruption, You are my father: to the worm, You are my mother, and my sister.
15. And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
16. They shall go down to the gates of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.
