    Job 17
    • 1   My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.
    • 2   Are there not mockers with me? and does not my eye continue in their provocation?
    • 3   Lay down now, put me in a surety with you; who is he that will strike hands with me?
    • 4   For you have hid their heart from understanding: therefore shall you not exalt them.
    • 5   He that speaks flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
    • 6   He has made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.
    • 7   My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.
    • 8   Upright men shall be astonished at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.
    • 9   The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that has clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
    • 10   But as for you all, do you return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.
    • 11   My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.
    • 12   They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.
    • 13   If I wait, the grave is my house: I have made my bed in the darkness.
    • 14   I have said to corruption, You are my father: to the worm, You are my mother, and my sister.
    • 15   And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
    • 16   They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.

    American King James Version
    Produced by Stone Engelbrite

    This is a new translation of the Bible, based on the original King James Version. It is a simple word for word update from the King James English. I have taken care to change nothing doctrinely, but to simply update the spelling and vocabulary. I have not changed the grammar because that could alter it doctrinely.

    I am hereby putting the American King James version of the Bible into the public domain on November 8, 1999.
