Job 17
17:1

My breath7307 is corrupt,2254 my days3117 are extinct,2193 the graves6913 are ready for me.

17:2

Are there not mockers2049 with me? and doth not mine eye5869 continue3885 in their provocation?4784

17:3

Lay down7760 now, put me in a surety6148 with thee; who is he that will strike8628 hands3027 with me?

17:4

For thou hast hid6845 their heart3820 from understanding:7922 therefore shalt thou not exalt7311 them.

17:5

He that speaketh5046 flattery2506 to his friends,7453 even the eyes5869 of his children1121 shall fail.3615

17:6

He hath made3322 me also a byword4914 of the people;5971 and aforetime6440 I was as a tabret.8611

17:7

Mine eye5869 also is dim3543 by reason of sorrow,3708 and all my members3338 are as a shadow.6738

17:8

Upright3477 men shall be astonied8074 at this, and the innocent5355 shall stir up5782 himself against the hypocrite.2611

17:9

The righteous6662 also shall hold on270 his way,1870 and he that hath clean2890 hands3027 shall be3254 stronger and stronger.555

17:10

But as for199 you all, do ye return,7725 and come935 now: for I cannot find4672 one wise2450 man among you.

17:11

My days3117 are past,5674 my purposes2154 are broken off,5423 even the thoughts4180 of my heart.3824

17:12

They change7760 the night3915 into day:3117 the light216 is short7138 because6440 of darkness.2822

17:13

If I wait,6960 the grave7585 is mine house:1004 I have made7502 my bed3326 in the darkness.2822

17:14

I have said7121 to corruption,7845 Thou art my father:1 to the worm,7415 Thou art my mother,517 and my sister.269

17:15

And where is now645 my hope?8615 as for my hope,8615 who shall see7789 it?

17:16

They shall go down3381 to the bars905 of the pit,7585 when our rest5183 together3162 is in the dust.6083
