Job 17
Revised Version 1895
1My spiritH7307 is consumed, my daysH3117 are extinct, the graveH6913 is ready for meH6913. 2SurelyH518 there are mockersH2049 with meH5978, and mine eyeH5869 abideth in their provocationH4784. 3GiveH7760 nowH4994 a pledge, be suretyH6148 for meH4994 with thyself; who is there that will strikeH3027 handsH3027 with meH4994? 4For thou hast hidH6845 their heartH3820 from understandingH3820: therefore shalt thou notH3808 exaltH7311 them. 5He that denounceth his friendsH7453 for a prey, evenH7453 the eyesH5869 of his childrenH1121 shall failH3615. 6He hath madeH1961 meH6440 also a bywordH4914 of the peopleH5971; and I am becomeH1961 an openH6440 abhorring. 7Mine eyeH5869 also is dim by reason of sorrow, and allH3605 my membersH3338 are as a shadowH6738. 8UprightH3477 men shall be astonied at this, and the innocentH5355 shall stirH5782 upH5921 himself againstH5921 the godlessH2611. 9Yet shall the righteousH6662 holdH270 on his wayH1870, and he that hath cleanH2891 handsH3027 shall wax strongerH555 and strongerH555. 10But returnH7725 ye, allH3605 of youH3605, and comeH935 nowH4994: and I shall notH3808 findH4672 a wiseH2450 manH2450 among youH3605. 11My daysH3117 are past, my purposes are brokenH5423 offH5423, evenH4180 the droughts of my heartH3824. 12They change the nightH3915 intoH3915 a dayH3117: the fight, say they, is nearH7138 unto the darknessH2822. 13IfH518 I lookH6960 for SheolH7585 as mine houseH1004; ifH518 I have spread my couchH3326 in the darknessH2822; 14If I have said to corruptionH7845, Thou art my fatherH1; to the wormH7415, Thou art my motherH517, and my sisterH269; 15WhereH346 then is my hopeH8615? and as for my hopeH8615, who shall seeH7789 it? 16It shall goH3381 downH3381 to the barsH905 of SheolH7585, when onceH3381 there is rest in the dustH6083.
