    Job 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 you shall not exalt them.
    • 5   He who denounces his friends for plunder, 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?”
