Job 17

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