Job 17
Darby Bible
1My breathH7307 is corrupt, my daysH3117 are extinct, the gravesH6913 are mine. 2Are there not mockers around me? and doth [not] mine eyeH5869 abide in their provocation? 3Lay down now [a pledge], be thou suretyH6148 for me with thyself: who is he that striketh handsH3027 with me? 4For thou hast hiddenH6845 their heartH3820 from understanding; thereforeH3651 thou wilt not exaltH7311 [them]. 5He that betrayeth friendsH7453 for a prey — even the eyesH5869 of his children shall failH3615. 6And he hath made me a proverb of the peoplesH5971; and I amH1961 becomeH1961 one to beH1961 spit on in the faceH6440. 7And mine eyeH5869 is dim by reason of grief, and all my members are as a shadowH6738. 8UprightH3477 men [shall be] astonished at this, and the innocentH5355 shall be stirredH5782 up against the ungodly; 9But the righteousH6662 shall holdH270 on his wayH1870, and he that hath cleanH2891 handsH3027 shall increaseH3254 in strength. 10But as for you all, pray comeH935 on again; and I shall not findH4672 one wiseH2450 man among you. 11My daysH3117 are past, my purposes are broken off, the cherished thoughts of my heartH3824. 12They change the nightH3915 into dayH3117; the lightH216 [they imagine] near in presenceH6440 of the darknessH2822. 13If I waitH6960, SheolH7585 is my houseH1004; I spread my bedH3326 in the darknessH2822: 14I cry to the grave, Thou art my fatherH1! to the worm, My motherH517, and my sisterH269! 15And whereH346 is thenH645 my hopeH8615? yea, my hopeH8615, who shall see it? 16It shall goH3381 down to the bars of SheolH7585, when [our] rest shall be togetherH3162 in the dustH6083.
