Job|17:1|-|My spirit is |a|broken;My days are extinct;
The graveyard is ready for me.
Job|17:2|-|Surely there are mockers with me,And my eye lingers on their provocation.
Job|17:3|-|Lay down now a pledge for me with Yourself;Who is he who will |1|strike hands with me?
Job|17:4|-|For You have hidden their heart from insight;Therefore You will not exalt them.
Job|17:5|-|He who denounces his friends for a share of the profit taken,Even the eyes of his children will fail.
Job|17:6|-|But He has made me a |a|byword of the people,And I have become one on whom they may spit.
Job|17:7|-|And my eye has grown dim because of the sorrow,And my members are all like a shadow.
Job|17:8|-|The upright are appalled at this,And the innocent stir themselves up against the profane man.
Job|17:9|-|Yet the righteous man will hold fast to his way,And he whose |a|hands are clean will wax yet stronger.
Job|17:10|-|But all of you, come back now,And I will not find a wise man among you.
Job|17:11|-|My days have passed; broken are my plans,The cherished thoughts of my heart.
Job|17:12|-|They change night into day;The light is near, they say in the face of darkness.
Job|17:13|-|If I wait for |a|Sheol as my house;If I spread my couch in the darkness;
Job|17:14|-|If I call out to the pit, You are my father;You are my mother and my sister, to the worm;
Job|17:15|-|Where then is my hope?Indeed, my hope, who will see it?
Job|17:16|-|It will go down to the bars of Sheol,When, at the same time, we have rest in the |a|dust.
