Young's Literal Translation
Job, Chapter 17

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