Chapter 17

1


 

  My spirit shall be wasted, my days shall be shortened, and only the grave remaineth for me.  

 

 

--

2


 

  I have not sinned, and my eye abideth in bitterness.  

 

 

--

3


 

  Deliver me O Lord, and set me beside thee, and let any man's hand fight against me.  

 

 

--

4


 

  Thou hast set their heart far from understanding, therefore they shall not be exalted.  

 

 

--

5


 

  He promiseth a prey to his companions, and the eyes of his children shall fail.  

 

 

--

6


 

  He hath made me as it were a byword of the people, and I am an example before them.  

 

 

--

7


 

  My eye is dim through indignation, and my limbs are brought as it were to nothing.  

 

 

--

8


 

  The just shall be astonished at this, and the innocent shall be raised up against the hypocrite.  

 

 

--

9


 

  And the just man shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.  

 

 

--

10


 

  Wherefore be you all converted, and come, and I shall not find among you any wise man.  

 

 

--

11


 

  My days have passed away, my thoughts are dissipated, tormenting my heart.  

 

 

--

12


 

  They have turned night into day, and after darkness I hope for light again.  

 

 

--

13


 

  If I wait hell is my house, and I have made my bed in darkness.  

 

 

--

14


 

  If I have said to rottenness: Thou art my father; to worms, my mother and my sister.  

 

 

--

15


 

  Where is now then my expectation, and who considereth my patience?  

 

 

--

16


 

  All that I have shall go down into the deepest pit: thinkest thou that there at least I shall have rest?  

 

 

--
