Job 17

1My spirit^H7307 is consumed^H2254, my days^H3117 are extinct^H2193, The grave^H6913 is ready for me. 2Surely there are mockers^H2049 with me, And mine eye^H5869 dwelleth^H3885 upon their provocation^H4784. 3Give^H7760 now a pledge, be surety^H6148 for me with thyself; Who is there that will strike^H8628 hands^H3027 with me? 4For thou hast hid^H6845 their heart^H3820 from understanding^H7922: Therefore shalt thou not exalt^H7311 them. 5He that denounceth^H5046 his friends^H7453 for a prey^H2506, Even the eyes^H5869 of his children^H1121 shall fail^H3615. 6But he hath made^H3322 me a byword^H4914 of the people^H5971; And they^H6440 spit in my face^H8611. 7Mine eye^H5869 also is dim^H3543 by reason of sorrow^H3708, And all my members^H3338 are as a shadow^H6738. 8Upright^H3477 men shall be astonished^H8074 at this, And the innocent^H5355 shall stir up^H5782 himself against the godless^H2611. 9Yet shall the righteous^H6662 hold^H270 on his way^H1870, And he that hath clean^H2890 hands^H3027 shall wax^H3254 stronger and stronger^H555. 10But^H199 as for you all, come^H7725 on now^H935 again; And I shall not find^H4672 a wise^H2450 man among you. 11My days^H3117 are past^H5674, my purposes^H2154 are broken off^H5423, Even the thoughts^H4180 of my heart^H3824. 12They change^H7760 the night^H3915 into day^H3117: The light^H216, say they, is near^H7138 unto^H6440 the darkness^H2822. 13If I look^H6960 for Sheol^H7585 as my house^H1004; If I have spread^H7502 my couch^H3326 in the darkness^H2822; 14If I have said^H7121 to corruption^H7845, Thou art my father^H1; To the worm^H7415, Thou art my mother^H517, and my sister^H269; 15Where then is^H645 my hope^H8615? And as for my hope^H8615, who shall see^H7789 it? 16It shall go down^H3381 to the bars^H905 of Sheol^H7585, When once there is rest^H5183 in^H3162 the dust^H6083.
