Job 17

American Standard Version

1My spiritH7307 is consumed, my daysH3117 are extinct, The graveH6913 isreadyfor me.2Surely there are mockers with me, And mine eyeH5869 dwelleth upon their provocation.3Give now a pledge, be suretyH6148 for me with thyself; Who is there that will strike handsH3027 with me?4For thou hast hidH6845 their heartH3820 from understanding: ThereforeH3651 shalt thou not exaltH7311 them.5He that denounceth his friendsH7453 for a prey, Even the eyesH5869 of his children shall failH3615.6But he hath made me a byword of the peopleH5971; And they spit in my faceH6440.7Mine eyeH5869 also is dim by reason of sorrow, And all my members are as a shadowH6738.8UprightH3477 men shall be astonished at this, And the innocentH5355 shall stirH5782 up himself against the godlessH2611.9Yet shall the righteousH6662 holdH270 on his wayH1870, And he that hath cleanH2891 handsH3027 shall wax stronger and stronger.10But as for you all, comeH935 on now again; And I shall not findH4672 a wiseH2450 man among you.11My daysH3117 are past, my purposes are broken off, Even the thoughts of my heartH3824.12They change the nightH3915 into dayH3117: The lightH216, say they, is near unto the darknessH2822.13If I look for SheolH7585 as my houseH1004; If I have spread my couch in the darknessH2822;14If I have said to corruption, Thou art my fatherH1; To the worm, Thou artmy motherH517, and my sisterH269;15WhereH346 thenH645 is my hopeH8615? And as for my hopeH8615, who shall see it?16It shall goH3381 down to the bars of SheolH7585, When once there is rest in the dustH6083.
