if I have said

"since I have said"

I have said to the pit ... and to the worm

These two lines are used together to emphasize how desperate Job is.

the pit

"the grave"

You are my father

"When I am buried, you will be as close to me as a father"

the worm

"the maggot." Worms are the small creatures that eat dead bodies.

You are my mother or my sister

"You are as close to me as my mother or my sister"
