Job 17
1 My spirit shall be wasted, my days shall be shortened, and only the grave remaineth for me.
Spirit my it is broken days my they are extinguished grave [belong] to me.
2 I have not sinned, and my eye abideth in bitterness.
Not mockeries [are] with me and on rebelling they may it dwell eye my.
3 Deliver me O Lord, and set me beside thee, and let any man’s hand fight against me.
Make! please stand surety for me with yourself who? that to hand my will he strike himself.
4 Thou hast set their heart far from understanding, therefore they shall not be exalted.
For heart their you have kept from understanding there-fore not you will exalt [them].
5 He promiseth a prey to his companions, and the eyes of his children shall fail.
For a share he tells friends and [the] eyes of children his they will fail.
6 He hath made me as it were a byword of the people, and I am an example before them.
And he has set me to use a proverb peoples and a spitting to [the] face I am.
7 My eye is dim through indignation, and my limbs are brought as it were to nothing.
And it has grown dim from grief eye my and members my [are] like shadow all of them.
8 The just shall be astonished at this, and the innocent shall be raised up against the hypocrite.
They are appalled upright [people] on this and [the] innocent on [the] godless he will rouse himself.
9 And the just man shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
And he may hold [the] righteous way his and [the] clean of hands he will increase strength.
10 Wherefore be you all converted, and come, and I shall not find among you any wise man.
And but all of them you will return and come please and not I will find among you a wise [person].
11 My days have passed away, my thoughts are dissipated, tormenting my heart.
Days my they have passed plans my they have been torn apart [the] wishes of heart my.
12 They have turned night into day, and after darkness I hope for light again.
Night into day they make light [is] near from before darkness.
If I will hope for Sheol home my in the darkness I have spread out beds my. (Sheol h7585)
14 If I have said to rottenness: Thou art my father; to worms, my mother and my sister.
To the pit I have called out [are] father my you O mother my and sister my to the maggot.
15 Where is now then my expectation, and who considereth my patience?
And where? then [is] hope my and hope my who? will he observe it.
