Job 17:7-16
7My eyeH5869 has also becomeH3543 1inexpressiveH3543 becauseH4480 of griefH3708, And allH3605 my 2bodyH3338 partsH3338 are like a shadowH6738.8The uprightH3477 will beH8074 appalledH8074 at thisH2088, And the 3innocentH5355 will stirH5782 himself upH5782 againstH5921 the godlessH2611.9Nevertheless 4the righteousH6662 will holdH270 to his wayH1870, And 5the one who has cleanH2889 handsH3027 will growH3254 strongerH555 and strongerH555.10But comeH935 againH7725 allH3605 of 6you nowH4994, For I 7do not findH4672 a wiseH2450 manH2450 among you.11My 8daysH3117 areH5674 pastH5674, my plansH2154 are tornH5423 apartH5423, The wishesH4180 of my heartH3824.12They makeH7760 nightH3915 into dayH3117, saying, ‘The lightH216 is nearH7138,’ in the presenceH6440 of darknessH2822.13IfH518 I hopeH6960 for 910SheolH7585 as my homeH1004, I 11makeH7502 my bedH3326 in the darknessH2822;14If I callH7121 to the 12graveH7845, ‘You are my fatherH1’; To the 13maggotH7415, ‘my motherH517 and my sisterH269’;15WhereH346 thenH645 is 14my hopeH8615? And whoH4310 looksH7789 atH7789 my hopeH8615?1615Will it goH3381 downH3381 with me to SheolH7585? Shall we togetherH3162 16goH5181 downH5181 into the dustH6083?”
