chapter_Job_17
Job 17:1: My spirit hath been destroyed, My days extinguished &#8212; graves are for me. Job 17:2: If not &#8212; mockeries are with me. And in their provocations mine eye lodgeth. Job 17:3: Place, I pray Thee, my pledge with Thee; Who is he that striketh hand with me? Job 17:4: For their heart Thou hast hidden From understanding, Therefore Thou dost not exalt them. Job 17:5: For a portion he sheweth friendship, And the eyes of his sons are consumed. Job 17:6: And he set me up for a proverb of the peoples, And a wonder before them I am. Job 17:7: And dim from sorrow is mine eye, And my members as a shadow all of them. Job 17:8: Astonished are the upright at this, And the innocent against the profane Stirreth himself up. Job 17:9: And the righteous layeth hold on his way, And the clean of hands addeth strength, And &#8212; dumb are they all. Job 17:10: Return, and come in, I pray you, And I find not among you a wise man. Job 17:11: My days have passed by, My devices have been broken off, The possessions of my heart! Job 17:12: Night for day they appoint, Light is near because of darkness. Job 17:13: If I wait &#8212; Sheol is my house, In darkness I have spread out my couch. Job 17:14: To corruption I have called: &#8212; 'Thou art my father.' 'My mother' and 'my sister' &#8212; to the worm. Job 17:15: And where is now my hope? Yea, my hope, who doth behold it? Job 17:16: To the parts of Sheol ye go down, If together on the dust we may rest.
