Job 17

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