If I call out to the pit (grave), ‘You are my father’;And to the worm [that feeds on decay], ‘You are my mother and my sister [because I will soon be closest to you],’
I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.
If I call to the pit, ‘You are my father’;To the worm, ‘my mother and my sister’;
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.’
if I say to corruption, ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My mother’ or ‘My sister,’
if I say to corruption, “You are my father,” and to the worm, “My mother” or “My sister”.
What if I call the grave my father, and the maggot my mother or my sister?
