10. “But please, come back again, all of you,For I shall not find one wise man among you.
11. My days are past,My purposes are broken off,Even the thoughts of my heart.
12. They change the night into day;‘The light is near,’ they say, in the face of darkness.
13. If I wait for the grave as my house,If I make my bed in the darkness,
14. If I say to corruption, ‘You are my father,’And to the worm, ‘You are my mother and my sister,’
15. Where then is my hope?As for my hope, who can see it?
