Job 17:7-16

7My eyeH5869 has also grownH3543 1dimH3543 becauseH4480 of griefH3708, And allH3605 my 2membersH3338 are as a shadowH6738.8The uprightH3477 will be appalledH8074 at thisH2088, And the 3innocentH5355 will stirH5782 up himself againstH5921 the godlessH2611.9Nevertheless 4the righteousH6662 will holdH270 to his wayH1870, And 5he who has cleanH2889 handsH3027 will growH3254 strongerH555 and stronger.10But comeH935 againH7725 allH3605 of 6you nowH4994, For I 7do not findH4672 a wiseH2450 manH2450 among you.11My 8daysH3117 are pastH5674, my plansH2154 are tornH5423 apartH5423, Even the wishesH4180 of my heartH3824.12They makeH7760 nightH3915 into dayH3117, saying, ‘The lightH216 is nearH7138,’ in the presenceH6440 of darknessH2822.13IfH518 I lookH6960 for 9SheolH7585 as my homeH1004, I 10makeH7502 my bedH3326 in the darknessH2822;14If I callH7121 to the 11pitH7845, ‘You are my fatherH1’; To the 12wormH7415, ‘my motherH517 and my sisterH269’;15WhereH346 nowH645 is 13my hopeH8615? And whoH4310 regardsH7789 my hopeH8615?1614Will it goH3381 downH3381 with me to SheolH7585? Shall we togetherH3162 15goH5183 downH5183 into the dustH6083?”
