Job Chapter 17 / WOR

World English Bible
Job, Chapter 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 shall you not exalt them.
   5: He who denounces his friends for a prey, 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?"
