Job  


17 : 1 My spirit is broken; my days areextinct;the graveyard is ready for me.
17 : 2 Surely there are mockers about me,and my eye dwells on theirprovocation.
17 : 3 Lay down a pledge for me with you;who is there who will put upsecurity for me?
17 : 4 Since you have closed their hearts to understanding,therefore you will not let them triumph.
17 : 5 He who informs against his friends to get a share of their property&emdash;theeyes of his children will fail.
17 : 6 He has made mea byword of the peoples,and I am one before whom men spit.
17 : 7 Myeye has grown dim from vexation,and all my members are likea shadow.
17 : 8 The upright areappalled at this,and the innocent stirs himself up against the godless.
17 : 9 Yet the righteous holds to his way,and he who hasclean hands grows stronger and stronger.
17 : 10 But you,come on again, all of you,and I shall not find a wise man among you.
17 : 11 Mydays are past; my plans are broken off,the desires of my heart.
17 : 12 Theymake night into day:The light,they say,is near to the darkness.
17 : 13 If I hope forSheol asmy house,if I make my bed in darkness,
17 : 14 if I say to the pit,You are my father,and to the worm,My mother,orMy sister,
17 : 15 where then is my hope?Who will see my hope?
17 : 16 Will it go down to the bars ofSheol?Shall wedescend togetherinto the dust?
