Job 17

[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41] [42]

17:1 "My spirit is consumed. My days are extinct, And the grave is ready for me.

17:2 Surely there are mockers with me. My eye dwells on their provocation.

17:3 "Now give a pledge, be collateral for me with yourself. Who is there who will strike hands with me?

17:4 For you have hidden their heart from understanding, Therefore you shall not exalt them.

17:5 He who denounces his friends for a prey, Even the eyes of his children shall fail.

17:6 "But he has made me a byword of the people. They spit in my face.

17:7 My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow. All my members are as a shadow.

17:8 Upright men shall be astonished at this. The innocent shall stir up himself against the godless.

17:9 Yet shall the righteous hold on his way. He who has clean hands shall grow stronger and stronger.

17:10 But as for you all, come on now again; I shall not find a wise man among you.

17:11 My days are past, my plans are broken off, as are the thoughts of my heart.

17:12 They change the night into day, saying 'The light is near' in the presence of darkness.

17:13 If I look for Sheol as my house, if I have spread my couch in the darkness,

17:14 If I have said to corruption, 'You are my father;' to the worm, 'My mother,' and 'my sister;'

17:15 where then is my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?

17:16 Shall it go down with me to the gates of Sheol, or descend together into the dust?"
