12 Pusieron la noche por día, y la luz se acorta delante de las tinieblas.

13 Si yo espero, el sepulcro es mi casa: haré mi cama en las tinieblas.

14 A la huesa tengo dicho: Mi padre eres tú; á los gusanos: Mi madre y mi hermana.

15 ¿Dónde pues estará ahora mi esperanza? y mi esperanza ¿quién la verá?

16 A los rincones de la huesa descenderán, y juntamente descansarán en el polvo.
