Job 17
17
1My spirit shall be wasted; my days shall be shortened: and only the grave remaineth for me.
2I have not sinned: and my eye abideth in bitterness.
3Deliver me, O Lord, and set me beside thee: and let any man's hand fight against me.
4Thou hast set their heart far from understanding: therefore they shall not be exalted.
5He promiseth a prey to his companions: and the eyes of his children shall fail.
6He hath made me as it were a byword of the people: and I am an example before them.
7My eye is dim through indignation: and my limbs are brought as it were to nothing.
8The just shall be astonished at this: and the innocent shall be raised up against the hypocrite.
9And the just man shall hold on his way: and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
10Wherefore be you all converted, and come: and I shall not find among you any wise man.
11My days have passed away, my thoughts are dissipated, tormenting my heart.
12They have turned night into day: and after darkness I hope for light again.
13If I wait hell is my house: and I have made my bed in darkness.
14If I have said to rottenness: Thou art my father: to worms, My mother and my sister.
15Where is now then my expectation: and who considereth my patience?
16All that I have shall go down into the deepest pit: thinkest thou that there at least I shall have rest?
