LITV - Job - 17

17:1  My spirit is broken; my days are extinct; graves are for me.

17:2  Are not mockeries with me? And my eye rests on their insults.

17:3  Please lay down a pledge for me with Yourself; who is he who will strike my hand with me?

17:4  For You have hidden their heart from understanding; therefore You shall not exalt them .

17:5  He informs against friends for a share; even his son's eyes shall be consumed.

17:6  He has also set me as a byword of the peoples, and I am a spitting to the faces.

17:7  And my eye is dim from grief; and all my members are like a shadow.

17:8  Upright ones shall be amazed at this; and the innocent shall stir himself against the ungodly.

17:9  And the righteous shall hold firmly on his way; and he of clean hands adds strength.

17:10  And now all of them, go back and please come again; and I shall not find among you a wise man.

17:11  My days have passed; my plans are broken off, the desires of my heart.

17:12  They set night for day; light is near in the face of darkness.

17:13  If I wait for Sheol as my house, I have spread out my bed in the darkness;

17:14  I have said to corruption, You are my father; to the worm, My mother and my sister.

17:15  And where then is my hope? And as for my hope, who shall see it?

17:16  They shall go down to the bars of Sheol, when our descent together is in the dust.
