Job - 17
1. My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.
2. Are there not mockers with me? and does not mine eye continue in their provocation?
3. Lay down now, put me in a guarantor with you; who is he that will shake hands with me?
4. For you have hid their heart from understanding: therefore shall you not exalt them.
5. He that speaks flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
6. He has made me also a byword of the people; and in old times I was as a timbrel.
7. Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.
8. Upright men shall be astonished at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.
9. The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that has clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
10. But as for you all, do all of you return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.
11. My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.
12. They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.
13. If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.
14. I have said to corruption, You are my father: to the worm, You are my mother, and my sister.
15. And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
16. They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.
