איוב 17
| רוּחִי חֻבָּלָה יָמַי נִזְעָכוּ קְבָרִים לִֽי׃ | 1 |
My breath is corrupt: my dayes are cut off, and the graue is readie for me.
| אִם־לֹא הֲתֻלִים עִמָּדִי וּבְהַמְּרוֹתָם תָּלַן עֵינִֽי׃ | 2 |
There are none but mockers with mee, and mine eye continueth in their bitternesse.
| שִֽׂימָה־נָּא עׇרְבֵנִי עִמָּךְ מִי הוּא לְיָדִי יִתָּקֵֽעַ׃ | 3 |
Lay downe nowe and put me in suretie for thee: who is hee, that will touch mine hand?
| כִּֽי־לִבָּם צָפַנְתָּ מִשָּׂכֶל עַל־כֵּן לֹא תְרֹמֵֽם׃ | 4 |
For thou hast hid their heart from vnderstanding: therefore shalt thou not set them vp on hie.
| לְחֵלֶק יַגִּיד רֵעִים וְעֵינֵי בָנָיו תִּכְלֶֽנָה׃ | 5 |
For the eyes of his children shall faile, that speaketh flattery to his friends.
| וְֽהִצִּיגַנִי לִמְשֹׁל עַמִּים וְתֹפֶת לְפָנִים אֶהְיֶֽה׃ | 6 |
Hee hath also made mee a byword of the people, and I am as a Tabret before them.
| וַתֵּכַהּ מִכַּעַשׂ עֵינִי וִיצֻרַי כַּצֵּל כֻּלָּֽם׃ | 7 |
Mine eye therefore is dimme for griefe, and all my strength is like a shadowe.
| יָשֹׁמּוּ יְשָׁרִים עַל־זֹאת וְנָקִי עַל־חָנֵף יִתְעֹרָֽר׃ | 8 |
The righteous shalbe astonied at this, and the innocent shalbe moued against ye hypocrite.
| וְיֹאחֵז צַדִּיק דַּרְכּוֹ וּֽטְהׇר־יָדַיִם יֹסִיף אֹֽמֶץ׃ | 9 |
But the righteous wil holde his way, and he whose hands are pure, shall increase his strength.
| וְֽאוּלָם כֻּלָּם תָּשֻׁבוּ וּבֹאוּ נָא וְלֹֽא־אֶמְצָא בָכֶם חָכָֽם׃ | 10 |
All you therefore turne you, and come nowe, and I shall not finde one wise among you.
| יָמַי עָבְרוּ זִמֹּתַי נִתְּקוּ מוֹרָשֵׁי לְבָבִֽי׃ | 11 |
My dayes are past, mine enterprises are broken, and the thoughts of mine heart
| לַיְלָה לְיוֹם יָשִׂימוּ אוֹר קָרוֹב מִפְּנֵי־חֹֽשֶׁךְ׃ | 12 |
Haue changed the nyght for the day, and the light that approched, for darkenesse.
| אִם־אֲקַוֶּה שְׁאוֹל בֵּיתִי בַּחֹשֶׁךְ רִפַּדְתִּי יְצוּעָֽי׃ (Sheol h7585) | 13 |
Though I hope, yet the graue shall bee mine house, and I shall make my bed in the darke. (Sheol h7585)
| לַשַּׁחַת קָרָאתִי אָבִי אָתָּה אִמִּי וַאֲחֹתִי לָרִמָּֽה׃ | 14 |
I shall say to corruption, Thou art my father, and to the worme, Thou art my mother and my sister.
| וְאַיֵּה אֵפוֹ תִקְוָתִי וְתִקְוָתִי מִי יְשׁוּרֶֽנָּה׃ | 15 |
Where is then now mine hope? or who shall consider the thing, that I hoped for?
