If I have said to corruption, Thou art my father; To the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister;

If I say to the earth, You are my father; and to the worm, My mother and my sister;

Εβοησα προς την φθοραν, Εισαι, πατηρ μου· προς τον σκωληκα, Μητηρ μου και αδελφη μου εισαι.

I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.
