17:1 My spirit is consumed, my days are extinct, Graves are [ready] for me.
17:2 Surely there are mockers with me, And my eye dwells on their provocation. 17:3 Give now a pledge, be surety for me with yourself; Who is there that will strike hands with me? 17:4 For you have hid their heart from understanding: Therefore you will not exalt [them]. 17:5 He who denounces his companions for a prey, Even the eyes of his sons will fail. 17:6 But he has made me a byword of the people; And they spit in my face. 17:7 My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, And all my members are as a shadow. 17:8 Upright men will be astonished at this, And the innocent will stir himself up against the godless. 17:9 Yet will the righteous hold on his way, And he who has clean hands will wax stronger and stronger. 17:10 But as for all of you+, come on now again; And I will not find a wise man among you+. 17:11 My days are past, my purposes are broken off, Even the thoughts of my heart. 17:12 They change the night into day: The light, [they say,] is near to the darkness. 17:13 If I look for Sheol as my house; If I have spread my couch in the darkness; 17:14 If I have said to the pit, You are my father; To the maggot, [You are] my mother, and my sister; 17:15 Where then is my hope? And as for my hope, who will see it? 17:16 You will go down with me to Sheol. Shall we not go down together to the dust? |
