Job 17:7-16

7Mine eyeH5869 also is dimH3543 by reason of sorrowH3708, and all my membersH3338 are as a shadowH6738.1

8UprightH3477 men shall be astoniedH8074 at this, and the innocentH5355 shall stir upH5782 himself against the hypocriteH2611.

9The righteousH6662 also shall holdH270 on his wayH1870, and he that hath cleanH2890 handsH3027 shall beH3254 stronger and strongerH555.2

10ButH199 as for you all, do ye returnH7725, and come nowH935: for I cannot findH4672 one wiseH2450 man among you.

11My daysH3117 are pastH5674, my purposesH2154 are broken offH5423, even the thoughtsH4180 of my heartH3824.3

12They changeH7760 the nightH3915 into dayH3117: the lightH216 is shortH7138 becauseH6440 of darknessH2822.4

13If I waitH6960, the graveH7585 is mine houseH1004: I have madeH7502 my bedH3326 in the darknessH2822.

14I have saidH7121 to corruptionH7845, Thou art my fatherH1: to the wormH7415, Thou art my motherH517, and my sisterH269.5

15And where is nowH645 my hopeH8615? as for my hopeH8615, who shall seeH7789 it?

16They shall go downH3381 to the barsH905 of the pitH7585, when our restH5183 togetherH3162 is in the dustH6083.
