job 17

1 - "My spirit is consumed.My days are extinct,And the grave is ready for me.
2 - Surely there are mockers with me.My eye dwells on their provocation.
3 - "Now give a pledge, be collateral for me with yourself.Who is there who will strike hands with me?
4 - For you have hidden their heart from understanding,Therefore you shall not exalt them.
5 - He who denounces his friends for plunder,Even the eyes of his children shall fail.
6 - "But he has made me a byword of the people.They spit in my face.
7 - My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow.All my members are as a shadow.
8 - Upright men shall be astonished at this.The innocent shall stir up himself against the godless.
9 - Yet shall the righteous hold on his way.He who has clean hands shall grow stronger and stronger.
10 - But as for you all, come on now again;I shall not find a wise man among you.
11 - My days are past, my plans are broken off,as are the thoughts of my heart.
12 - They change the night into day,saying 'The light is near' in the presence of darkness.
13 - If I look for Sheol as my house,if I have spread my couch in the darkness,
14 - If I have said to corruption, 'You are my father;'to the worm, 'My mother,' and 'my sister;'
15 - where then is my hope?as for my hope, who shall see it?
16 - Shall it go down with me to the gates of Sheol,or descend together into the dust?"
